Hi Josiah, good question 😊If we're strictly talking about benefits. Immediate work experience - you gain 4 years of commercial experience while studying, making you more attractive for graduate/junior roles. Earn while you learn & No debt - Can fund cool tech projects without excessive effort to make money [link removed] test out non-free tier tech tools and buy physical hardware for experiments if you like. Build practical skills - Pressure working with real systems, codebases, and teams, developing skills that employers value from day one. Industry exposure - Appreciate & implement best practices such as Agile, IaC, code reviews, solution presentations, stakeholder communication in a real business environment. Build a professional network more easily. Potentially faster career progression - By graduation time you may already be ready for mid-level roles. Clearer career direction - Working in industry helps you discover which areas of technology ([link removed], software engineering, cybersecurity, data, cloud) you enjoy in practice before specialising, you also get access to a lot of senior people more easily who can mentor [link removed] hope this response helps you when considering apprenticeship benefits 👍
