“My work experience opened the door to my career”

Mykenlande Dorasin secured a job as a Marketing Assistant before she completed her qualification.

“I advise everyone to make the most of work experience opportunities because it’ll give you clarity in your career choice. I wouldn’t have been sure about what direction I want to go in if it wasn’t for this opportunity. I went into my work experience with People in Flow (a HR consultancy company) with an open mind. I didn’t know that such a great opportunity was waiting for me!

Let’s talk about next steps

Once you’ve completed your Advanced (Level 3) qualification, there are lots of different options open to you. What you choose to do depends on your goal – have you got your mindset on a certain specialism, or do you want to develop more technical knowledge first? Your options are:
