As part of National Apprenticeship Week, we interviewed recent Employee Excellence Award winner Jess.  Jess started her career with an Apprenticeship at CATCH.

What apprenticeship pathway did you study and why?
Business Administration, I felt this pathway covered the majority of the basics within a business. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and this seemed to open up the most opportunities when looking for an apprenticeship

How do you feel this has benefited your career?
It has developed my knowledge of businesses and how they work. It has allowed me to develop within my role and enabled me to go on to Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications.

What tips would you give your young self?
To keep going because there are opportunities ahead once you have completed your training. Starting somewhere new can be daunting but it is definitely worth it.

What are your hopes for the future and how did your apprenticeship support your ambitions?
My future hopes are to complete my Business Administration Level 4 apprenticeship to gain more knowledge into the management of a business. I hope this will lead to further development in my role in the future.

Thank you Jess!
