Lee was nominated for his supportive management of Victoria, a Business Management Apprentice at Digital ID in Woodstock. He was nominated by Shelia, Vicky’s Apprenticeship Assessor.
In her nomination, Shelia shared the following:
"Lee is very supportive of Victoria, providing a calm, steady and continuous presence that she can rely on. He attends every meeting and is always ready to input ideas on how Victoria can develop her skills and confidence. He reassures her when she doubts herself and takes every opportunity to highlight her achievements and value to the company. Lee also provides hands-on support by reading through her evidence assignments with her and making suggestions of how she can develop her understanding further.
Lee makes it very clear that the company want Victoria to learn as much as she can from her apprenticeship and to enjoy working for Digital ID. I think Lee is an ideal apprentice manager, as he believes in the qualification, in learning, in development across a broad range of skills and in the apprenticeship as a pathway to future employment within the organisation."
Fae was nominated for the exceptional support she has provided to her first two apprentices at the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
Her apprentices' assessor shared the following for her nomination:
"When it came to choosing projects Fae thought outside of the box and supported both apprentices to find projects that really interested them. Andrea put together a team building day, which very much played to her organisational strengths and ability to engage with others. Amy is very interested in photography, so Fae helped her build a project around this hobby that would also be beneficial to the company."
"Fae is always cheerful and approachable and really does go out of her way to support her apprentices in any way possible to have the very best experience. Fae is a joy to work with and it is very much a partnership where we support each other to achieve the very best end result for these young apprentices."
Laura is a part of the University of Oxford Department of Engineering and has two apprentices; Bardha and Rajeev, who are both Level 2 Accounting apprentices.
Laura was nominated by our Training Coordinator Adrian in recognition of all her hard work.
In Laura's nomination, Adrian shared the following: "Laura engages with her apprentices deeply, personally, and professionally. She is jubilant to celebrate their successes and her apprentice Raj said she is always checking in on his wellbeing, making sure that he is looking after himself, and not pushing himself too hard. Both her apprentices are doing extremely well thanks to her leadership."
"To put it simply: I have never seen an apprentice manager demonstrate greater interest, greater care, and greater drive to see their apprentice succeed. She is the model manager, and what we might dream every manager becomes."
