Get a head start in your career

I'm so pleased I made the choice that I did! The nursery I volunteered at interviewed me and asked me to come in for a 'play day' and were so impressed they put me in touch with the team at their sister nursery. I secured a 12-month contract initially and was then offered a permanent position based on my performance

I took a carer role straight out of sixth form and with the help of my Level 2 and Level 3 apprenticeship training, I've climbed the ladder from carer to care coordinator managing and supporting teams of carers. Next steps uni and a more senior role!

Gaining a qualification gave me the drive and motivation to develop my knowledge and skills. Being employer as a Chef has heightened my sense of self-esteem.

My confidence level has improved 100%. I was a very person and would find talking in group hard/ I would shy away fro situations, I am now talking in all situations and to anyone who will listen. I also feel pride in myself knowing i ha a qualification that will make my future a brighter one
