In the first episode of this new series, (Series 5) of the Canny Conversations Podcast we hear Safaraz in the first half of his conversation with Jade Pearson, New Talent Manager for Severn Trent and member of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance. Their conversation explores apprenticeships as an important career option for young people, including practical advice and information about how to apply to Severn Trent. Saf and Jade explore how to stand out from the crowed in what can be a highly competitive process; where using everything in your toolkit, including both your school and out of school experiences, can give you a real advantage.
