Keelie
Team Leader
Winn Group Apprenticeship start date: 2019, but I had to take a break due to maternity leave.
My study and jobs before apprenticeship: When I started my apprenticeship in management I had already qualified as a Solicitor and was a Team Leader in the Vehicle Damage Team at Winns.
I chose to do an apprenticeship because: I wanted to gain a recognised qualification in management and develop professionally.
I chose a Winn Group apprenticeship because: The apprenticeship is an additional qualification to compliment my current role as a Team Leader.
What I enjoy most about my Winn Group apprenticeship: I enjoy learning new things and the apprenticeship gives me the opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
The support I have received through my apprenticeship: My manager has championed the diploma from the start. He completed the diploma himself and felt like it would be beneficial for all Team Leaders. He is always on hand if I have any questions.
My top tip for anyone considering doing an apprenticeship: The apprenticeship runs alongside your job so you need to be committed.
