To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we caught up with three of our apprentices to hear all about their apprenticeship experiences.

What is your name and what apprenticeship are you currently doing?

We spoke with Müller about the Leadership and Management apprenticeships they offer through Weston College, designed to develop their employee's skills and support career progression.

Could you briefly introduce Müller and the work the organisation does?

Leadership isn’t really about job titles. It’s about making good decisions under pressure, bringing people with you, and turning plans into day-to-day action. In a fast-moving labour market, those skills don’t develop by accident. They need time, practice and real responsibility. That idea underpins how Weston College approaches leadership and management training.

This month, we’re proud to feature Brandon Hewlett, a Weston College alumnus who has built a successful career in the property and estate agency sector. Now the Managing Director of Hewlett Homes Estate Agents, Brandon’s journey from studying Business and Finance at college to running his own company is an inspiring example of where determination, adaptability, and ambition can lead.

Weston College recently delivered a highly successful series of online apprenticeship preparation workshops in collaboration with Channel 4, delivered in partnership with their 4Skills team. These sessions were specifically designed to support learners in advance of the Channel 4 Apprenticeship Programme, which is due to launch in January 2026, and to demystify the application and recruitment process for a highly competitive creative employer.

As 2026 begins, Weston College and Bristol Airport remain committed to expanding their work together by creating opportunities that help individuals thrive, businesses grow and the region prosper.

Last month, Weston College welcomed Lauren Carr, Technical Project Manager at SharkNinja UK, for an engaging and 'Outrageously Extraordinary' session with Level 3 Business students. Lauren shared her expertise in managing complex projects for a global brand operating across the UK, US, and China, offering students a unique insight into the processes behind bringing innovative products to market. 

Today, Somerset Chamber of Commerce hosted their Business Brunch at The Grove, located at Weston College’s Knightstone Campus.

The event provided a valuable opportunity for employers from across the region to network, learn more about the College, and connect directly with Weston College learners during a dedicated student networking session.
