She has big dreams and big plans for her future as a solicitor, and despite doing incredibly well in her GCSEs at school, Rachel decided she didn’t want to go down the traditional route of going to university and getting a degree.

In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week this month, Rachel shares her journey of learning on the job, and gaining qualifications in her own way, with the support of CILEx – Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.
