Having completed her apprenticeship, achieving a Distinction grade, Phoebe has now been appointed to a Customer Account Executive role with her employer. Building on the skills she has learnt from doing the apprenticeship as well as her proactive and hard-working approach has led to her employer offering her current role. 

“With me moving around the shop floor and different teams throughout my apprenticeship, I was given lots of opportunities to learn, including in office-based roles. I was covering for someone and then got offered the role of Customer Account Executive. 

“Having the hands-on experience from being on the shop floor has massively helped me. When I’m looking at drawings, I know what the processes are to make that part. Also, if there are tweaks to suggest to the customer, it’s a lot easier for me to articulate.

“I would really recommend doing an apprenticeship, mainly because the experience in the workplace really helps you, especially long term. Apprenticeships give you more confidence in knowing what you are doing, and the hands-on experience can open up so many different doors for you.”
