Apprentices from a Carlisle-based training provider are celebrating their successes during National Apprenticeship Week.
Eighty per cent of the apprentices on the Level 3 teaching assistant apprenticeships, run by System People achieved a distinction grade, while the remaining 20 per cent of learners all gained a pass result.
Louisa Bowman, of Carlisle, began her Level 3 apprenticeship in 2019.
Louisa workied for Castle Carrock School.
She said: “I am so happy with my result and have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship.
“I want to say a massive thank you to my tutor, Sarah Taylor and all the staff at System People and Castle Carrock School for the support, guidance and learning opportunities throughout my apprenticeship journey.”
Rebecca Bird, managing director of System People, said: “The results are fantastic and a real achievement for Louisa, our other apprentices and teaching staff at System People especially in light of the recent three lockdowns.
“We are very proud of all of our current apprentices who are a real credit to our business.
“They have all showed dedication and commitment to their work and study and deserve the grades they have been awarded, even more so in light of the current lockdown situation.”
In March this year, as a response to the lockdown, all apprenticeship learning moved to virtual platforms within a week of lockdown being announced.
Rebecca added: “This prompt reaction and the quick adjustment to the new delivery method has meant that learning continued throughout the pandemic without any classroom sessions being missed with a zero break in learning.
“Our apprentices have shown real resilience during these trying times.”
All of the apprentices have moved into permanent full-time employment.
