Themis star triumphs at prestigious awards

Themis at Burnley College is celebrating the success of Megan Pritchard as she was named Professional Services Apprentice of the Year at the Lancashire Apprenticeship Awards.

The BA (Hons) chartered management degree apprentice has been an executive assistant to the senior management team at Burnley College.

Megan has served as a representative for the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Future Leaders Board and was selected for the Burnley Bondholder Future Leaders programme.

She also created ‘The Apprentice Exchange’ which is a pioneering networking platform providing peer support for over 30 of her fellow apprentices.

Megan said: “I am absolutely over the moon and couldn’t be prouder of myself.

“Moments like this remind me to take a step back and appreciate just how far I’ve come in my journey as an apprentice.”

Neil Burrows, director of skills, innovation and employer engagement at Burnley College, said: “Megan is a superb ambassador for apprenticeships and an integral part of Burnley College.

“Her maturity, confidence and ability to think outside the box is outstanding, especially with her only being at the start of her career.”

The event took place at Blackpool Football Club.
