A Shropshire teenager has been selected for an apprenticeship at globally renowned Pricewaterhouse Cooper.
James Pearson, a pupil at Wrekin College, is among a growing number of ambitious teenagers who are choosing an alternative to the traditional university route.
“I had considered university and of course, it is one of the options that everyone should consider but I wanted to be out there getting on with it in a real work environment," he said."I felt I’d learn better on the job than in a classroom and I would be further ahead in my career than where I would be if I had chosen the uni route.”
But while he opted for a different route the path to securing a place on the scheme was no less competitive.
