QUOTES ABOUT APPRENTICESHIPS
“One of my proudest moments during my apprenticeship would be making it on to the Modern Muse Youth Board as a female empowerment ambassador, but my biggest achievement is getting into university.”
Lab Technician Apprentice, Henna Basharat
“In my previous job there wasn’t any room for job progression, and this was important to me. When I saw the job advert at Specsavers I applied straight away, because you didn’t need any prior experience. I feel really lucky with the team and colleagues I was surrounded with, everyone had specific expertise with different aspects of optics. I was a bit apprehensive about an Apprenticeship at first, but now I know what it’s like I wouldn’t change anything, and I wouldn’t have progressed so far without it.”
Optical Assistant Apprentice, Emily Toy
“I am training to be an Optical Assistant and fully understand the dispensing side. So far I have loved every minute and can’t wait to learn more. I am forever thankful to Specsavers for giving me the opportunity to learn and become part of the organisation”
Customer Service Apprentice, Bethany Cruice-Woods
