Despite turning down the male-dominated Computer Science class at her grammar school, Lauren had a change of heart to a career in Tech, after completing a course with CodeFirstGirls. During this time, she also discovered a brand new Technology Degree Apprenticeship launched by PwC and the University of Birmingham.
Unique to other degree apprenticeships on offer, it allowed her to get the full university experience from a Russell-Group provider, all whilst earning a salary and working in several of PwCโs Technology teams. Sheโs since graduated debt-free with a First Class degree in Computer Science, won the coveted title of โApprentice of the Yearโ and has now jumped into the dynamic world of startups with Entrepreneur First.
