Business Bootcamp

Joe joined one of our first Liverpool Business bootcamps in 2018, and now he's a manager at BDO and a member of our Alumni Innovation Committee.

“Before joining LTSB, I knew I wanted to jump straight into my chosen career rather than spending years in college or sixth form. I was determined to find first-hand experience through an apprenticeship, though I kept college in the back of my mind as a fallback. But I really wanted to get my foot in the door as soon as possible.

“The LTSB bootcamp was a game-changer for me. It provided essential transferable skills that set me up for success. From crafting my first official CV to mastering interview techniques and getting a real sense of what it’s like to work in accounting offices, LTSB prepared me for my role as an SSC Audit Assistant at BDO. The support and guidance were invaluable, giving me the confidence to excel in the workplace.

“Since starting as an assistant, I’ve progressed to a team leader, managing a group of up to 15 people. LTSB didn’t just help me start my career—they’ve been there every step of the way, even after the course ended. The skills I gained are applicable beyond just finance or business, making LTSB a fantastic choice for anyone looking to jumpstart their career in the corporate world.”
