Darcey Lewis, a participant at a Dental Work Experience Day in Porth said:“The work experience provided by the CTM Apprenticeship Academy was incredibly eye-opening. I learned so much about what it takes to be a dentist and the kind of impact you can have on people's lives. It definitely inspired me to follow this career path, and the work experience helped my UCAS application, and subsequently I have two offers to study Dentistry.  I really want to thank the dentists for taking time out to support us and showing us techniques we have only ever read about.  Thank you CTM”.
