"Starting an apprenticeship has really built up my confidence. I never thought I'd be able to do all the things I do now, a year ago! I'm proud of how far I've come with the support of my employer and Skills Group."
Emily completed her A Levels but knew University wasn’t for her.
“Once I’d completed my A Levels, I wanted to start working so the apprenticeship route was the perfect choice. Learning new skills whilst developing a career for life is so exciting, everything I’m learning and practising day to day is setting me up for a great career once I finish.
“The Study Programme at Skills Group really helped me gain confidence before going into the workplace. I learnt basic hairdressing skills and also completed certificates in Health and Safety and First Aid amongst other things, so by the time I had completed the course, I was prepared to go into a real working salon.
“I had to do work experience which was so beneficial – it gave me the opportunity to make sure that Hairdressing was definitely what I wanted to do before I committed to an 18-month apprenticeship. It completely confirmed that this was the route I wanted to go down and therefore made starting the apprenticeship a really positive experience.
“Now I am working towards my Level 2 Apprenticeship, I am really proud of how far I’ve come. I have gained valuable skills through working at Yoke the Salon. They have given me so many opportunities – I have already been put forward for Learner of the Year in Concept Mag and booked onto several masterclasses with London brands. My customer service skills have really developed and I am confident talking with clients now – which I never thought I would be!
“My goal is to become fully qualified as a Colour Specialist Hairdresser and now, I have no doubt that I will achieve this and more!”
