LEARNER QUOTE

"From my experience of completing my apprenticeship I am proudly able to say that it has helped contribute towards a promotion within my role. The apprenticeship offers great development for each individual who participates in the apprenticeships. It has allowed me to expand my knowledge of the retail sector and help me to solve situations that I wasn’t able to solve previously. Each skill learned and developed has helped me on a daily basis which gives me the confidence to know that the apprenticeships are beneficial!"
