Meet Our Apprentice – Corbyn Grace

Corbyn has been with us as a company for around six months, coming straight from school to qualify to be a consultant through his apprenticeship. Corbyn had both university and an apprenticeship as options for his career path, so choosing a route wasn’t easy for him. He chose an apprenticeship from the appeal of learning on the job as well as earning. Here are a few words he had to say:

“Yeah, so University was an option for me. However, the concept of learning and earning money at the same time really stood out to me. I’ve always liked being in the real world, as to say and working and doing things of this sort. So I feel like an apprenticeship was the best option for me.”

“I have lots of great things to say about Pentest People Careers and the apprenticeship. However, my favourite, if I had to pick, would probably be the learning I do, the ability to bring things together and fit them together almost like a jigsaw is just a great concept, and when you’re there in search, you might be doing one piece of the jigsaw. You might not know what you’re doing. However, once you do another bit and another bit, it really starts to come together. And I think that’s a great feeling.”
