MEMBER NEWS Access Training shares success stories


In its support of National Apprenticeship Week, Chamber strategic partner Access Training released a series of stories recently about learners who have used their apprenticeships as a springboard for career development. Apprentices may be stereotyped


as school leavers but can in fact be found across a broad spectrum of the Nottinghamshire population. As Access Managing Director,


Corrina Hembury, who herself started her career as an apprentice, explained: “Having supported apprentices for some 20 years, we’ve seen so many instances of the power of apprenticeships in helping to change personal circumstance. “Of course, some of our


apprentices are school leavers who do not wish to pursue the more traditional educational routes of college and university. “But there are countless others


in very different situations and at much later stages of their lives. Often, we’re supporting individuals who are facing redundancy or who simply realise that the job they’re working in isn’t for them.” Access showcased the journeys


of five different learners to illustrate that the pathways into apprenticeships are nothing if not varied. Natalie Riley’s career was carved


out as a chef until an accident enforced a six-month break and a subsequent re-evaluation of working life. Studying for a Level 2 and 3


Team Leader/Supervisor apprenticeship has allowed her to secure promotion to the role of Programme Coordinator for Patient Safety and Medicines Optimisation at East Midlands Academic Health Science Network. Sabrina Palmer-Worth spent 12


years in a financial services company but it was voluntary redundancy that allowed her to finally pursue her dream career. A Level 3 apprenticeship in


Childcare at a local day nursery was the start of her career reboot; she’ll qualify as a teacher later this year.
