Naomi's Apprenticeship Journey

A once in a lifetime opportunity to work on the biggest infrastructure project in Europe bought Naomi to HS2. With a background in customer service and support roles, she had never studied for an apprenticeship before and went straight into the world of work after trying university and realising it wasn’t for her. At the age of 34, she is a great example of how it’s never too late to start an apprenticeship.

"This has definitely been the right choice for me, I am closer to realising my career goals and have gained valuable experience while working towards new qualifications."

Undertaking a project management apprenticeship, she is at the forefront of the UK’s digital construction revolution, BIM (Building Information Management), involved with creating digital models of the railway for use in the design and construction phase.

As well as new project management skills, Naomi has also developed her communication, being able to present to large audiences and communicate more confidently with senior colleagues.
