After finishing my studies, I did work experience at Lloyd Dowson which was very beneficial. I enrolled onto the AAT college course at the East Riding College. I was offered a job/studying career at Lloyd Dowson. I am now only a few exams away from finishing my AAT. It’s a great way to start a career as things I learn in my studies help me at work and jobs at work help me with my studies so it’s a win-win situation.

University is not always the best route for everyone, keep your options open as there may be other opportunities to grasp closer to home. Sometimes to get a broader picture of availability in careers you need to look locally. There are many local businesses in the area who offer good career prospects.
