AS A former further education tutor, it was a privilege to greet a Grimsby resident whilst working in Parliament during National Apprenticeships Week.
The Hospitality Apprenticeship Showcase at the House of Commons took place during National Apprenticeships Week, held nationally between February 3-9. The overall week is designed to shine a light on individuals and employers who are making a positive impact both in the workplace on within the economy.
Paula Capes works for Greene King's Beechwood Farm as the assistant manager, having gone from an entry level staff member and working her way up to the position. A single mum with no qualifications when she began at Beechwood, Paula has worked hard to achieve her position and it was a pleasure to meet her with her Certificate of Outstanding Achievement, which was awarded to her during her visit to London.
It is always nice to see people doing well, especially when they have changed profession and worked their way through the businesses to a management level. It was lovely to meet Paula and I wish her and her family well for the future.
* Apprenticeships and Skills Minister, Gillian Keegan, recently announced that National Apprenticeship Week will be taking place from 8-14 February, 2021. The next event may be quite different to those in previous years, but it will be an opportunity to recognise the hard work done by employers and apprentices during the Covid-19 pandemic.
