The Minister of State for Apprenticeships and Skills, the Rt Hon Anne Milton MP, visited enterprise software company Invotra in Woking, Surrey on Friday 8 March. The Minister was joined on her visit to Invotra by Keith Smith, Director of Apprenticeships, Education and Skills Funding Agency.
The Minister visited the company’s digital accessibility testing lab and viewed intranet, website and portal screen images through restricted site glasses and using a screen reader. The session was led by lab manager Andrew Doyle, age 21, who was SME apprentice of the Year in 2016.
In a second session, Minister Milton was shown a cross-site scripting attack by Chelsea Cadd, one of the few female apprentices studying towards a cyber security qualification in the UK. There was a live link with Invotra’s Newcastle office and Chelsea showed Minister Milton how she deals with online security threats as part of her day job. Chelsea, age 24, was awarded Newcomer of the Year at the Cyber Security Awards in 2018.
Alison Galvin, HR Director, Invotra said, “Our apprentices are delighted Minister Milton is visiting our offices and seeing their work first hand. For a high tech company like Invotra there’s no doubt that apprenticeships work brilliantly, providing time to study while gaining invaluable experience of working in a fast-moving business.”
Anne Milton is Minister of State for Apprenticeships and Skills. She was appointed Minister of State at the Department for Education on 12 June 2017. She was elected as MP for Guildford in 2010.
