Q&A with Katie

Tell us more about your experience

The biggest highlight of my career so far has been m eeting HRH the Duke of Cambridge at his visit to Microsoft UK Campus at Thames Valley Park. 


The biggest challenge has been c onfidently managing communities within the Microsoft's Social Impact space, using clarity and purpose in my delegating.


I have support from my manager and my team, from the Apprentice HR team at Microsoft and from my tutors at The Open University

"I chose to do an apprenticeship as I wanted to  gain a qualification while working full time."

Doing an apprenticeship is a fantastic route for someone like me changing careers and needing to gain further skills to boost their career development!
