Age: 18
Apprenticeship: Transport Projects
Qualification: Business Administration Level 2
Before my apprenticeship I studied A-level accounting, maths
and physics at BHASVIC College. I really enjoyed the subjects that I was doing
and the different opportunities that they had on offer to develop your skills
and gain more experience.
I realized that a lot
of the work I was doing was in preparation for exams, whereas I wanted to focus
on skills and experience that I could carry with me into a professional working
environment. I also wanted to be able to have more time to learn and overcome
the new challenges that come with working professionally. Therefore, this
apprenticeship was a great opportunity as it was in the sector that I was
looking for, and it was a happy middle ground between college and work.
My day-to-day tasks include general administration tasks
e.g. minute taking, reporting data, handling mail, writing emails and using the
phone. In my job I am also given time to complete my college work, I am
undertaking a Business administration Level 2 which is run by City College in
Brighton. My favourite project I have worked on so far has been the ‘Breeze up to
the Downs’ Project where I get to experience the marketing side of the
apprenticeship. I work alongside my manager as we liaise with the designers for
the leaflets, planning the contents of the various leaflets for each season, as
well as producing distribution lists and taking minutes for the group meetings.
I am currently in the
early days of my apprenticeship; I want to explore the different apprenticeship
options for the future, such as a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Finance which
Brighton and Hove City Council offer.
