More than just awards and accolades, this National Apprenticeship Week was about sharing stories and sparking conversations. We launched the second episode of Sovini Speaks, our workplace podcast, delving into the world of apprenticeships and the transformative impact they have.
Apprentices, past and present, shared heartwarming anecdotes and insightful reflections, with the podcast offering a unique glimpse into apprenticeships from those who have experienced them first-hand. Want to hear their stories? Take a listen here!
