At Epping St Johns we are keen to promote the achievements of our alumni and show current and prospective students the diverse range of career paths our past students have followed. The high achievements of past pupils across such a wide selection of careers, we believe, reflects the well-rounded education on offer and demonstrates how we help to develop each pupil’s individual talents and strengths
All our students are inspired by the success of our alumni, so share your experiences of College, University or your career path with them. This can be done by adding to our alumni career profile, or why not become a volunteer ambassador, taking part in our inspirational talks or careers events

Why become a volunteer ambassador.
• Enrich and support student experiences by being a resource for them to use
• Help give advice and support to students
• Give something back to the next generation.
• Attend talks and promote university life or a particular career to students
• It looks great on a CV!

Since Leaving St.Johns Epping in 2012 after successfully completing my GCSE’s, I then went on to complete my A levels at Leventhorpe sixth form in Hertfordshire. I soon decided University wasn’t for me as I wanted to be more proactive in my studies, so I decided the best route to take was an Apprenticeship. I am now in my first year of a two year Apprenticeship at Barclays head office in Canary Wharf, and I love every minute of it. The area I am working in is Sourcing which is where we manage the contracts with our suppliers. Some of my daily tasks include going out to meet suppliers such as Virgin Atlantic, IBM etc to negotiate deals and manage contracts in order to get our end product or service for our internal colleagues on a global scale. Whilst completing this apprenticeship I am also studying for a `Business NVQ Level 3’ as well as sitting exams which are specific to my department (CIPS).  I personally believe that this Apprenticeship has opened up many doors and opportunities for me and I would defiantly recommend Barclays to anyone who is thinking of completing an Apprenticeship once they have completed their GCSE’s. The enrolment will open around the middle of March and if you are successful you will start in August. Barclays will be reaching out to schools in London, however they are also very interested in attracting those people like myself, who live outside of London. I look forward to going into a permanent role within Barclays once the Apprenticeship has finished, as well as having the opportunity to complete a part time degree.
