Anna Gates wasn’t a typical academic student. She definitely preferred to learn on the job, but also wanted a degree and found an apprenticeship in civil engineering. What is refreshing about this conversation is her genuine interest in the environment and providing power to 6 million homes through nuclear power in a sustainable way. Yet she has also thought cleverly and strategically about her career choices. With no student debt, bespoke training on the job and a guaranteed career path in an industry that she loves. It hard not to be inspired by her farsightedness. After listening to her, if I had my time all over again, I would have taken an apprenticeship route too!
