Autumn Roberts – HR Co-ordinator – Trainee – Portsmouth

I believe there are so many skills I’ve improved or gained during my time studying and working at the same time. To understand why things are worded in a certain way’s so valuable in my position and I do think that interpersonal adaptability’s one of the most important ones as you have to understand different perspectives in different situations. During my studies, one thing that’s stood out to me is the way we collate data and analyse it effectively. I’ve learnt more about the effects on business cultures and types of workplaces. Being able to network with people who are studying the same thing’s been very interesting as there are different types of industries involved.

Daniel Witt – Accounts Assistant – Apprentice – Northampton

I’m most proud of (almost) completing my AAT level 3, especially balancing the pressure of studying whilst working. I’ve also learnt the value of stretching myself, taking on tasks that’ll challenge me, knowing that I have the support of my team behind me. By investing the time in myself and my future, I can see real progress in my career since joining [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal], and it motivates me to continue to work towards my ambition to qualify as a Chartered Accountant.

Jensen Herrick – Audit Executive – School Leaver – Northampton

The most valuable skill I’ve taken away from being an apprentice/school leaver is my independence. As an apprentice I’ve lots of control over the direction of my career and the learning opportunities I choose to seize. The onus is on myself when it comes to recording my learning activities and reflecting on my performances, this fosters personal growth and reflection for continual improvement. I also navigate numerous clients in short amounts of time and have to prioritise tasks in order to manage workloads, exposure to these factors has challenged me and driven me to improve my time management skills.
