Business student secures degree-level apprenticeship with Bentley Motors Ltd

September will see Joel embark on a four-year higher level apprenticeship within the Purchasing Department. To secure the role, Joel participated in an online assessment centre and interview before giving a presentation to the interview panel.

Commenting on this exciting opportunity, Joel said, “When the opportunity came up with Bentley, I was really excited to apply. I took part in the virtual assessment centre which really tested me. I was then required to give a presentation on the skills that I could bring to the team. I took on board experiences gained on my Level 3 Business course at NSCG and focused on delivering a confident presentation on leadership, communication and team work.”

“I’m really excited for the future and the experiences that I hope to get involved in with Bentley.”

“I am really proud of Joel and the initiative he has shown in applying for his degree-level apprenticeship role at Bentley. The topics we cover on the Level 3 Business course are aimed to give our students the key skills needed to either enter the world of work or to progress onto a higher education course or apprenticeship, and Joel’s hard work really has paid off. This is a fantastic opportunity to progress within a world-renowned luxury brand and we all wish him well for the future.”
