- “I really enjoyed my apprenticeship with ECC, I loved that the majority of the apprenticeship is on the job learning and mínimal classroom work. The opportunities for career development have been much wider than I originally thought, and the apprenticeship is such a great way to start your career and get your foot in the door with your local council/ government” _

It’s a great starting point to anyone who hasn’t got a clear idea of what work they would like to pursue.
