In this episode, Kit talks to four employees at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) who trained as apprentices. We welcome back James Dillon and Izzy Elwood from the previous episode (#28), who are joined by colleagues Ellen Mason and Ella Burrow.

Some of the things they talk about are:

- The apprenticeship course and their route to them from high-school

- The interview process

- What a typical week is like

- How it feels to be 'earning while you learn'

- How apprentices are supported

- The kind of support from their employer and training provider

- The highlights of doing an apprenticeship
