Finding the Right Path – Sam’s Journey from Cheshire College to a Project Management Apprenticeship 

After completing A Levels in Politics, Economics, and Business at Cheshire College earlier this year, Sam Linde has begun a Project Management Degree Apprenticeship at civil engineering company Ringway Jacobs, taking the next step in his career with confidence. 

A Standout Moment – Student Awards  
One of the highlights for me was receiving awards for my achievements. It felt special to have my efforts recognised.  

When I started college, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my career. But through exploring subjects and opportunities, I discovered my passion and became motivated toward my goals. It was amazing that others noticed that drive developing in me. 

Support That Makes a Difference 
The opportunities at Cheshire College are unmatched. Tutor sessions, the Futures Scheme, talks with professionals, and the relationships you build with teachers were key in shaping my mindset. 

My teachers like Lauren and Ben were especially supportive — they helped me unlock my potential and cheered me on the whole way. 

From College to Career 
I’m now doing a Project Management Apprenticeship at Ringway Jacobs. I wanted a career that blended learning with practical work, and this role fits perfectly.  

Being able to apply what I’ve learned directly in my job makes it both challenging and rewarding. 

Advice for Students 
I would say throw yourself into it. Explore every opportunity, talk to your teachers, join programs, and find what motivates you.  

This is your chance to shape your future, so take it seriously but enjoy the journey.
