An extraordinarily useful 2nd meeting of 2024 with @BBCScotland where we had the pleasure of hearing just how effective the graduate apprenticeship route was for both @UofGlasgow & BBC @JennyGilruth @SAHA_voice from the students themselves
Everyday is different @UofGlasgow - today got to visit BBC Scotland HQ with @P14Murray @catherinehapper & other UofG colleagues. Got a behind the scenes studio & newsroom tour. Also heard from @UofGComputing BBC graduate apprentices who are inspiring.
