Rosie Bennett 6C

Graduate Apprenticeship in Operations 

Morgan Stanley, Glasgow

Rosie Bennett leaves St Peter the Apostle to start a four-year journey with Morgan Stanley's Operations Graduate Apprenticeship in Glasgow. Supported by the University of Strathclyde, Rosie is working towards a BA (Hons) in Business Management.

Rosie has always been passionate about Business, Spanish, and English and her ambition to work for a global financial institution led her to apply for a one-week work experience at Morgan Stanley. The experience was so enriching that she became determined to secure a place in their Graduate Apprenticeship Programme.

The Graduate Apprenticeship offers a blend of academic learning and practical experience, with rotations in areas such as Trade Support & Reconciliation, Data Analysis & Reporting, Projects & Systems Testing, Team Collaboration, and Client Relationship Development.

This apprenticeship not only aligns with Rosie's academic interests but also provides her with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic financial environment, setting a strong foundation for her future career.

Everyone at St Peter the Apostle High School is incredibly proud of Rosie's achievements and wish her all the best as she embarks on this exciting new chapter in her professional journey. Her success is a testament to her hard work and determination, and we have no doubt she will continue to excel in her chosen field.

Max McArthur 6C

Trainee Quantity Surveyor

Clark Contracts, Scotland West

Max McArthur initially accepted a place at university to pursue a Quantity Surveying undergraduate course. However, after gaining work experience with ScottishPower, he realised that a more hands-on approach would better suit his career aspirations. Determined to gain practical experience while studying, Max applied for a Trainee Quantity Surveying role at Clark Contracts.

Max joined the Construction division in Paisley as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor last month. His role offers a structured pathway that combines practical on-site experience with academic learning. In year two of the trainee programme Max will work four days a week on construction sites, collaborating closely with experienced Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Managers to manage costs and contracts across various projects. One day each week will be dedicated to studying towards a degree in Quantity Surveying, integrating theoretical knowledge with real-world application.

This approach gives Max hands-on experience in the construction industry while pursuing formal education, setting a solid foundation for a successful career in Quantity Surveying.

Everyone at St Peter the Apostle High School is incredibly proud of Max's achievements and the dedication he has shown in pursuing his career goals. His commitment to combining academic learning with practical experience reflects the values of ambition, responsibility, and continuous improvement that our school strives to instil in all our students. We wish Max all the best as he starts this exciting new chapter in his professional journey.
