Our Apprentices Our apprentices represent the next generation of workers for our region and beyond. They work hard to study towards their qualifications whilst simultaneously working in a full time job in their chosen industry. These learners have impressed local employers with their passion, enthusiasm and potential. We have over 900 apprentices on programme each academic year and we are proud of each one of them for what they achieve. Here are just a few of those apprentices who are making their way into the world of work and the future pipeline of Lancashire’s workforces. Ibrahim Level 4 Professional Diploma in Accounting at MHA Moore and Smalley “The apprenticeship has allowed me to develop my functional knowledge about accounting as well as my professional and work-based skills.” Isabel Dental Nurse - Level 3 at Sharoe Green Dental Practice “I have loved working as a dental nurse apprentice and have learnt so much from the other dentists in the practice. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about an apprenticeship. It’s given me the life skills and industry skills that will help me to continue in my career.” Josef Hair Professional - Level 2 at Jo and Cass “My confidence has grown, even in such a short space of time and I have made friends for life. I was worried that I would miss out on the College lifestyle, but with the mix of working and a day release to college, this has really benefited me. It’s without doubt, one of the best things I have done.” 28
