This is Nottingham --
A 22-YEAR-OLD says her apprenticeship changed her life.
Olivia Herman decided as a teenager she wanted to look after children but wasn't sure how to go about it.
She then found out about a pre-apprenticeship programme with Access Training East Midlands.
The programme prepares young people for apprenticeships and found Olivia a role at Angels by Day in Bulwell.
She completed an advanced apprenticeship in childcare, overseen by Access Training.
Olivia, of Bulwell, said: "I was absolutely delighted when I was successful.
"I have been at Access Training for almost two years and I have achieved a number of qualifications including paediatric and workplace first aid."
Olivia is now a childcare tutor herself.
She added: "I still can't believe that from being a shy 16-year-old I can now stand in front of a group of learners and teach them skills to move them forward in life."
The Post is running its apprentice drive – to create 300 apprentice roles in 100 days – with the Derbyshire and Notts Chamber of Commerce, the city council, the National Apprenticeship Service and the Nottinghamshire City and County Employment and Skills Board. Reported by This is 21 hours ago.
