Nicole joined National Highways as a business continuity apprentice. Business continuity is about planning to deal with difficult situations, so that operations can continue to function with as little disruption as possible. Having completed the apprenticeship in July 2019 she successfully gained a position as the business continuity co-ordinator in Nottingham.
After a few years of developing and gaining knowledge, she passed her business continuity exams (CBCI) in January 2021, joining a small band of just over 9,000 practitioners across the world.

Working for National Highways has given me vital experience in so many ways, and now I have solid foundations for a career that I would never have known was possible had I not applied for my apprenticeship! I had a lot of support from people in the office and my line manager was always there to offer a helping hand if I needed it, which I did, quite a few times! Working at National Highways you feel a part of something bigger, and getting to be a part of keeping the network running smoothly is something I'm proud of.
National Highways Operational Assurance and Capability Team Leader Ray George said:
