The best part of an apprenticeship for me is the sense of achievement when I receive my grade and certificate. It’s rewarding to know that I’ve expanded my knowledge and skills, making me not only better at my job but also a better version of myself.
Nicola’s thoughts on her apprenticeship
Nicola believes apprenticeships are valuable for individuals, workplaces, and the country. They help people gain essential skills and qualifications while earning, which is especially important for those who cannot attend college or university. Employers benefit from more competent staff, and service users receive better care. On a national level, apprenticeships improve literacy, math skills, and knowledge of human rights, British law, and abuse response. Nicola views apprenticeships as a way to level the playing field for those less advantaged.
The most rewarding part for Nicola is the sense of achievement when she receives her grade and certificate, knowing that her growth enhances both her job performance and personal development. She values the support from her employer and training provider, especially her manager, who has mentored her and given her opportunities to practice her skills. Nicola aspires to progress to a home manager in the future.
