Apprenticeships provide an opportunity for organisations to both recruit new staff and upskill existing team members. Apprentice Rosie Bean has started a Level 3 Early Years Educator programme after being offered it by her current workplace. Here is Rosie’s story:
“I chose this programme to gain my level 3 to progress within my job role at a nursery. The programme was suggested to me by the school, and I was pleased to be able to study while working full time.
Utilising apprenticeships in the Early Years sector is important to be able to show someone the practice as they’re learning and can see it first-hand.
The main benefit of apprenticeships is that you get to fully understand the things you are learning about and apply them to your practice. The best thing about my particular role is being able to be a part of helping children to learn.
I have achieved lots of things since starting my apprenticeship, the main one being able to reflect on my practice and implement the things I have learned.
My tutor has been incredible. She has been so understanding and supportive and has helped me massively!
Through my apprenticeship I’ve developed a range of skills. The most important one for me was learning about attachments. It’s been important because it helps me to better engage the children.
After completing my apprenticeship, I would like to progress to become an Early Years Teacher.”
Best of luck in the future Rosie!
