Joel Winter took a different route after Sixth Form, joining PwC's apprenticeship scheme rather than going to university.
"I am still working for PwC as an Associate in Management Consulting," he explains, adding that a personal highlight has been "completing my apprenticeship with the highest grade possible."
Reflecting on the transition to full-time work, Joel feels Brentwood played a key role:
"I feel Brentwood gave me both the academic and social skills to apply myself effectively in the working world, building strong relationships along the way."
And his advice to current Sixth Formers? "Stay connected with your friends and join the Old Brentwoods community - it is great to speak to people who went to the School before you."
