Capital City College welcomes London employers for Accountancy Apprenticeship Breakfast

Capital City College (CCC) welcomed employers from across London to the Finsbury Park campus on 26 November 2025 for an Accountancy Apprenticeship Breakfast.

Guests enjoyed a relaxed morning of food and conversation while gaining insight into the benefits of apprenticeships and the full AAT apprenticeship pathway. Employers in attendance included Corinthia London, ACCA, and We Are Qig.

The morning opened with an overview from the Association of Accounting Technicians. Kareen Lawrence, AAT Regional Manager, highlighted the strength of the long-standing partnership. She said: “AAT have partnered with Capital City College for over 10 years. CCC are fantastic advocates of accountancy and has a wide range of apprenticeships, including the entire accountancy provision from level 2 to level 4.”

Three current apprentices also shared their experiences and encouraged employers to think about how apprenticeships can grow talent within their teams.

Sarah Grace Dominique Williams, who passed her AAT Level 3 with a Distinction, spoke about why she chose this route. She said: “I chose an apprenticeship as a way into accountancy without any previous qualifications. I’ve gained a strong foundation as well as direct connections with employers. My role has expanded as my course progressed. To anyone starting an apprenticeship, my advice is to take a proactive approach and use the time at college well.”

Apprentice Laurence Read, currently completing his AAT Level 3, encouraged employers to see the wider impact they can have. He said: “As a business taking on an apprentice, not only are you investing in someone at the start of their career, but they will be looking up to you, and this will be part of your legacy. You can really inspire someone who has their whole future ahead of them.”

Alongside the talks, employers were introduced to Capital Connect, the new business membership programme designed to support recruitment, workforce development and ongoing partnerships with the college.

Group Head of School for AAT, Jaqueline Dyett, said: “Our Employer Breakfast was a great success, bringing together industry partners, employers and aspiring professionals for a morning of insight, inspiration and collaboration. It was an inspiring event focused on building connections, strengthening partnerships and showcasing the exciting pathways available through Accounting Apprenticeships. At Capital City College, we remain committed to developing opportunities that empower learners and support employers to grow their teams and their businesses.”

The event showcased how apprenticeships offer clear benefits for both learners and employers. It also reinforced the college’s commitment to helping businesses build strong, skilled teams through high-quality training and support.
