“Thanks to the support of my NVQ assessor I was able to finish my qualifications early and even took on extra units. After my experience of the hospital I was convinced that I wanted to stay on working for the Trust. My first choice was to stay on in my department and fortunately a position came up. I am now doing a further qualification - an ITQ level 3 and am still very much enjoying working for the Trust.
“Being on an apprenticeship helped me learn about the Trust before taking on a substantive role. The academic study helped me learn more about the workplace” Emma Cowdrey – Apprentice
“It is valuable to be able to take on inexperienced staff and provide them with a broad range of life skills, opportunities and development. The experience is really good for their CV and practical application at work” Nick Laskey - Mentor
“Being an apprentice has given me a good insight to the world of work… I have received a lot of help and support rather than being thrown in at the deep end”. Jennifer Bannister - Apprentice
