Degree apprenticeships

hey everyone, im interested in doing a DA specifically in tech or finance, but I do sociology, art and english a level so I'm unsure of how successful it will be considering that I would aim to do the top ones e.g.. amazon, google, e&y etc. please help and tips. also anyone know much about the Black Apprentice Network -BAN? Tips would really help thank youu

It's good to aim high, but you also have to be realistic. Are you providing so much value that a company like Amazon would decide to take you on over the thousands of over other candidates that will be applying that beat you on qualifications and probably experience?
Your A-level choices may also set you back. I wanted to land an apprenticeship in engineering but all of my GCSEs were in humanities (outside of doing triple science), so I went to college for a year to do a BTEC in engineering which made me more attractive to companies. You may want to consider a lateral move like that.
For DA you have to meet the entry requirements for the course. If a university wouldn't let you do tech or finance with English, Sociology and Art, then you won't most likely land a DA, let alone at a massive company.
