Summer Success Stories
Unlike colleges, we continue delivering our training throughout the summer, and our apprentices have been busy applying their newly developed skills to the workplace. We have lots of stories to celebrate this summer, but here are just a few of them:
Celebrating Promotion
Congratulations to Gracie Matthews who is studying for her Business Administrator L3 apprenticeship. She hasn't completed her course yet, and already Gracie has been promoted from Junior Medical Admin Assistant to Trainee Medical Secretary at Designated PA, with the hope that in a few short months she will be a fully trained Medical Secretary.
Her line manager, Taylor Brayne, says:
" It is because of Gracie’s success and how well she has learned the role that we have now recruited three new apprentices to follow suit, which is incredible! We are really proud of her"
Making a Contribution
We're very proud of one of our Events Assistant apprentices, Charlotte Thorne, who is employed at Medway Council.
Charlotte has been putting her organisational skills to the test by leading a huge family event in Gillingham town centre.
Held on 1st September, the event has required a considerable amount of detailed project management, including arranging for the busy High Street to be temporarily closed for the day!
Her tutor, Elle Vernon is very proud of her efforts to pull this off.
We are delighted to report that the event was a huge success and Charlotte event received a letter of congratulations from her local MP!
Dedication pays off
Apprenticeships vary in length; some last 12 months, others can take 2 years.
But if the apprentice is committed, they can go through to EPA earlier than the maximum time allowed.
12 months and a day is the minimum amount of time required before Gateway is permitted.
Such is the dedication of Niamh O'Keefe, Business Administrator student, that she has been able to go though to Gateway at the earliest possible date!
Niamh, who works at Sanctuary Personnel, has impressed tutor Rebecca Evers with her self motivation and hard work.
At the end of August, her results were announced. She achieved a distinction in her EPA!
