In this episode, Jamie Graham speaks with Tyler Harvey-Cowlishaw, Founder of the Science Apprenticeship Forum, and Catherine Perry, Professional Registration Specialist at the Royal Society of Chemistry, about the evolving landscape of science apprenticeships and professional development.

Tyler shares her journey through apprenticeships, how they fit into family life, and how this led to founding the Science Apprenticeship Forum, a free-to-join network for science apprentices across the UK. The Forum provides a supportive community, peer connections, and a platform to influence national policy and apprenticeship development. It also hosts the National Science Apprenticeship Conference, now in its third successful year.

Catherine discusses professional registration pathways for science technicians and apprentices, and how the Royal Society of Chemistry supports career development through recognition and standards.
