Thomas Mynott, who is undertaking the Level 4 Software Developer apprenticeship at Transport for London (TfL), has been named as one of the 10 finalists in the London region for the Higher Apprentice of the Year category in the National Apprenticeship Awards (NAA).
“I was shocked [to be nominated] – to be honest, I didn’t really know there were awards for this! I’ve just been doing what I enjoy,” says Tom, who started his career with TfL as an apprentice in 2015 and won the company’s internal Apprentice of the Year award in 2017.
Accelerating careers at TFL
Tom’s support for other apprentices is as vital to his success as his first-class technical skills. “Tom’s remarkable development in the apprenticeship scheme has made him a role model and somewhat of a go-to person for the other apprentices” says Peter. “This is invaluable in…transforming how we develop, encourage, and embed our young talent into TfL.”
Going above and beyond
The winners of the NAA regional Apprentice of the Year awards will be announced at local ceremonies between 11th and 26th September. Regional winners are shortlisted for the overall Apprentice of the Year, who will be revealed at the national ceremony in London on November 28th.
