Omnia, who completed a level 2 business administration apprenticeship at Ealing Council.
I am a single mum of two children – 7 and 9. I left my administration job in 2015 to become a full-time mum.
I thought apprenticeships were only for people of certain age. When I heard this is not the case, I thought it would be quite a good opportunity for me to go back to work. I love doing administration and being an apprentice meant I could learn and earn at the same time and gain more experience.
It wasn’t easy balancing study and work, alongside taking care of my family, especially during a pandemic. Despite these challenges, the experience has been very rewarding. I’m really pleased I did the apprenticeship and I’m proud of myself. It’s been great having so much support from my colleagues, the apprenticeship team and my tutor.
Doing this apprenticeship helped me in many ways – I gained a lot of skills, including time management, and it improved my self-esteem and confidence.
I’d definitely recommend apprenticeships. It’s been a great and unforgettable journey for me and a very positive experience.
