What helped you stand out in interviews for tech or IT apprenticeship roles, and are there any specific types of in-person work experience or courses you’d recommend to strengthen my application and skills?

I’m passionate about launching a career in tech and have already taken part in virtual work experiences with companies like PwC, Bloomberg, and Lloyds Banking Group. I’m now focused on improving how I present myself in interviews and want to make sure I stand out for the right reasons. I’d love to hear from current apprentices about what made a difference in their own interview experience

looking to gain more hands-on, in-person experience to develop my practical understanding of IT environments. Any advice on placements, volunteering, or shadowing opportunities that helped build your confidence and technical skills would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
