🎉 It’s National Apprenticeship Week! 🎉 To round off the week, we caught up with Donna Miller, an architect from our Skipton office, who completed her architecture qualifications through the RIBA apprenticeship route at Northumbria University. Here’s what she had to say about his journey: 💬 "I really enjoyed the workplace-to-university ratio on the apprenticeship. I was able to draw on experience gained within the workplace to help me better understand the university subjects." Check out some of the beautiful images from Donna’s final master's project, which was to design a dementia village in Yorkshire that prioritised dignity, independence, health and wellbeing within a safe environment. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #Apprenticeships #Architecture Sam Richardson Rachel Knight Colin Briggs-Campbell Craig Mewse RIBA April Marsden Rebecca Jones - Graphic Designer, Photographer, Matterport
