Mia Finley - People Team Apprentice (choosing an apprenticeship over university and becoming Business & Law Apprentice of the Year)

On this episode I welcome Mia Finley as my guest.Mia is very much at the start of her HR career and began an apprenticeship in Aug 2021. However, she was recently credited with the accolade of 'Business & Law Apprentice of the Year' so I wanted to get to know more about her story, why an apprenticeship was the best route for her, and what she did to receive the award.Mia shares her feelings of being almost dismissed by her College for not choosing to go to university, but why it was 100% the right decision for her. The conversation is also full of useful tips and advice for anyone looking to make themselves more employable, as well as how to get an apprenticeship.I thoroughly loved chatting with her and for someone so young she has a very mature and advanced outlook. I'm sure Mia is going to have a fantastic career ahead of her.Support the show
