Jenny was referred to our Apprenticeships Advice Service from the Connexions One-Stop-Shop in Pimlico.  On meeting with Jenny, our learning advisers found her to be an extremely determined and focused individual.  She really wanted to take control of her situation and start laying strong foundations for her career.

Her Adviser helped Jenny understand the career and training options available to her and they worked together to build an action plan that mapped out the best route towards the job she wanted.

Over a series of appointments the adviser helped Jenny with her CV writing and conducted mock interviews to polish her interview techniques.  Once Jenny was ‘apprenticeship-ready’, our Advisers forwarded her application for a Business Administration Apprenticeship position with Genesis Housing Group.  She worked hard to prepare for the interview, and was successful in securing the position.

“Within the first month of starting my new job, I was enrolled with a training provider to start working towards an NVQ Level 3 qualification,” says Jenny, who hasn’t looked back.  With her hard work and dedication to the Apprenticeship programme, Jenny completed her NVQ Level 3 qualifications five months before schedule, and decided to apply for a job at Genesis.  Today Jenny is employed full time as a receptionist at Genesis Housing Group.
