Case Histories -
Peros
Peter Goodey, Joint Managing Director,
Peros
‘Since the roll out of the Apprenticeship program within our customer service team,
the benefit has been felt two-fold
.
On a
personal level
the individuals are
motivated
about achieving their own Apprenticeship targets and have really enjoyed the challenge.
It has also had a positive effect on the Peros business through more confident, engaged and knowledgeable staff.
One of our key aims at Peros is to offer the scheme to a wider audience.’
Lauren Andrews, Customer
Relations Supervisor
,
Peros
‘My apprenticeship has
helped me
with my confidence
in progressing
as a
Supervisor. It has
opened up opportunities for me
to develop
my role
and department. It also gave
me
an insight as to why things are done
, such
as job appraisals, and has
linked directly
to my new managerial
roles and
responsibilities.’Slide19
Case Histories – Trinity Health
Nick
Beevers
, Practice
Manager
‘We
considered taking an
Apprentice to
provide support for my role
as I needed
someone to share the IT workload.
We
agreed the criteria and Bucks Adult Learning did the rest in promoting the role and selecting the most suitable candidates for us to interview. It has been a very positive experience. We have a person who has grown immensely over the 12 months of the Apprenticeship and has made a positive difference in the practice. I would definitely repeat the process again in the future.’Jacob Webb, IT Systems Administrator‘My year as an Apprentice with Trinity Health has been
extremely beneficial
.
I’ve
learned so much this year and gained lots of
really valuable work experience
that I will take with me throughout my career. I would definitely recommend the Apprenticeship scheme to any one thinking of applying as it’s a really great way to work, get educated and get your career started.’Slide20

Coralie
Perry - PA to
Headteacher
‘Our Apprentice has
become a valuable member of our team in a very short period of time.
The
recruiting
process was
simple
and the continuing support from the Bucks Adult Learning assessor has been
excellent.
I would like to encourage other employers to offer apprenticeships as I feel they offer an excellent education and provide valuable experience for young people.’Isabel Macbeth - Finance Apprentice
‘My
Finance Apprenticeship has been very
beneficial
. I now feel I have varied and extensive accounts knowledge for someone who has studied for just one year.
I
feel it was a much better route into accountancy as I gained experience in working with accountants and different systems while studying towards a respectable
qualification
