"Since joining Herts in 2004, I’ve sought opportunities to develop and grow my career. Through the Diversifying Leadership programme, my sponsor encouraged me to pursue qualifications to become a Business Analyst (BA). The apprenticeship boosted my confidence, with support from mentors pushing me to stretch my capabilities. Whilst finishing my final project, I’ve secured a BA role and look forward to applying my learning."
