National Apprentice Week 2020 - what's it like to be a Lifeways apprentice?

National Apprentice Week 2020 is taking place from 3rd - 9th February. We're spreading the word about what it's like to be an apprentice in social care, so we asked some of our learners to share their stories. Click the links below to hear what they had to say:

"I’ve taken up a team leader role which would not have been possible without having this qualification." - Alison

"I really wanted to be a great role model for my kids, they are so supportive of me and my studies." - Diana

"Give it a go, don’t be frightened of apprenticeships and don’t think you can’t fit it in, because you can!" - Emma

"My biggest achievements are being promoted and achieving 'Excellent' CQC scores for two of my services." - Jennifer

"My trainer was always very friendly and helpful. He was available if I needed extra support. It felt that there wasn’t any unnecessary pressure to get it done, which enabled me to progress at my own pace." - John

"Definitely just go for it, you will learn a lot along the way. If you want to progress your career, this is a great way to do so." - Malcolm

"I want to complete my Level 5 to a very high standard and hopefully become a Registered Manager one day." - Natalie
