Tom Derrick, The Talent Tap 2017 & 2018
What The Talent Tap has done for me is indescribable. I feel so enhanced by everything that The Talent Tap has given to me. I’ve had some incredible experiences and met some incredible people. I’ve developed my skills, knowledge and understanding in a way that isn’t possible in the classroom, and that I never could […]
A 2016 leaver after their first summer on the programme
In the past two weeks I believe I have undoubtedly changed as a person. I never thought that when I applied to The Talent Tap scheme at the beginning of this year that I would be here, months later, with all the great memories and new friends, wishing I could rewind time and do it […]
