Caitlin's Success Story

On this SQA Exam results day it’s only appropriate to showcase our recent Modern Apprentice Graduate’s success story.

When Caitlin left school she applied to various Apprenticeship providers. Despite giving a good interview Caitlin lacked formal work experience but this did not stop her. She took on board the feedback from us and attended an employability course with Jobs and Business Glasgow to gain formal experience in a nursery and returned for another interview. During this follow up interview Caitlin was better equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to start an Apprenticeship.

Like many, Caitlin’s journey took a few twists and turns along the way. Caitlin successfully secured employment within a local nursery but found out how tough life was as a practitioner and learned a few tough lessons. We work closely with Caitlin to build on her strengths and go back into the world of work to try again.

She applied to a position at The Park Nursery & Kindergarten who were pivotal in supporting Caitlin to bring out the best of her abilities. In the end Caitlin has proven herself as an established Early Years practitioner, securing a full time job with her employer. There really is #NoWrongPath as Caitlin has proven.
