💬 What employers say: 

Elisa Pasceri, Lead Product Design at The Co-op said:  

“I  think  the  most  important  bit  is the  fact  that  you  get  incredibly  talented  people who  you  can  see  them grow  into  work  right  away  from  day  one, and  then  they  bring  that  knowledge,  that  theory, that  amazing  framework  of  thinking  into  the  workplace, and  I  think  that  helps  everybody  else  in  the  team.
