It's been a pleasure receiving birthday wishes from our partners, and a huge thank you to Emily Rock (Austin) at the Association of Apprentices for sending her support! Our 40-year journey confirms that the future workforce needs more than just technical training-it needs community and support. That's why our partnership with the AoA is so crucial. Together, we don't just teach skills; we enhance the entire apprenticeship experience by providing apprentices with free access to a vital network of peers and professional support. This includes: - Connecting with a nationwide community of other apprentices. - Expert guidance and resources to help get assessment-ready. - Support with essential life skills, mental health, and soft skills development. We’re proud to partner with the AoA to empower the next generation of digital leaders by giving them the tools and network they need to succeed both professionally and personally. #BornInThe80s #4DecadesOfDigital #40YearsOfQA
