Benefit
An apprenticeship is a benefit for those who do not want to go down the traditional route of University; this is why I chose this alternative. I wanted to gain experience within a sector whilst undertaking a recognised qualification.
Learn
The qualification side of an apprenticeship allowed me to develop knowledge and understanding of how businesses operate.
Aspire
Undertaking an apprenticeship has enabled me to secure a full time position whilst working towards a qualification. In the future, I hope to progress within my team and achieve my Level 3 Operational Delivery apprenticeship.
Zest
I am passionate about undertaking an apprenticeship because it means I can gain real work experience, develop my skills and improve my employability.
Energised
I am enthusiastic towards my job role which has a positive effect on the team; I also get along with my work colleagues which produces a friendly working environment.
