Sara shares:
“Becoming a UX apprentice in has transformed my confidence and my career. I get to apply what I learn straight away, from accessibility improvements to new user journeys and I see the impact of my work on people using ours and our clients’ websites every day.
Switching careers while caring for my family felt daunting, but my apprenticeship has given me a route that fits my life and my ambitions. Working with Adoptstar’s digital and development team had helped me build hands-on UX and UI skills, learn new research techniques and redesign live products that people use all over the country.
