Beth Barker, ICT Apprentice

I first started my Apprenticeship in March 2010 in the ICT section. I was very nervous and didn’t socialise with many of the other staff.  Now four months later I feel very comfortable and more confident in myself and with the work.

So far, my time here has been very challenging as I have had to pick up different tasks very quickly.

I work in different departments so I’m doing something different every day. I do a range of work from scanning documents, to paying invoices, taking minutes and working on the asset database.

I have been on many different training courses which has broadened my awareness and improved my skills at work.

Over all my experience here has been very beneficial. I have been working towards my NVQ level 2 in Business & Admin, gained new skills in and outside of work and learnt what it's like to be working with adults. This has made me more confident and will help me when I look for permanent jobs in the future.
