What apprenticeship have you done?

I started my Level 3 CIPD HR in September 2023 when I began working for Inntel. I haven’t completed the course yet.

What are your day-to-day duties?

Answering emails, recruitment, onboarding and offboarding as well as day-to-day administration for the People, Talent & Compliance department.

What benefit has on-the-job training had for you?

Gaining experience from the job rather than just from a classroom. It also allows me to earn money whilst studying.

What are your goals after completing your apprenticeship?

My main goal is to have a better knowledge of people practice. Job-wise, my target is to stay employed by Inntel.

What is your greatest success in your role?

Getting the role in the first place. As an adult learner it would’ve been a lot easier for the company to have taken on someone younger that they could mould easier, rather than someone older with some experience.

Outside of work, what hobbies do you have?

Walking the dog, going to the gym, working in my salon and learning new treatments, and socialising with friends and family.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering doing an apprenticeship? 

Go for it, 100 percent! There is no better way of learning than actually learning on the job. This goes for all different types of industries. In my opinion, studying and becoming qualified whilst gaining hands on experience is the best way to learn.
