University of Oxford Apprentice wins Apprentice of the Month!

Brianna Wilkins, Business Administration Apprentice at the University of Oxford was awarded ‘Apprentice of the Month’ in October 2021.

Brianna joined the university in November 2020 working as a Business Administration Apprentice in the Degree Conferral Office, Student Registry and Examination Schools. Sonja Milovic, apprenticeship assessor at Abingdon and Witney college nominated Brianna for all her hard work.

“Brianna stands out for me for her integrity at work, commitment to others, to her team, and joy that she brings to all our sessions with her inquisitive mind and passion for learning. Brianna has excelled in her performance at work and coursework, and in addition to always being proactive, punctual, ready to go the extra mile in her learning and research, Brianna has actively been mentoring peer apprentices, on weekly basis, and we can clearly see the impact of that support. Brianna continues to support others, despite her very challenging roamer role, and working on improvement projects, she has recently taken on peer mentoring responsibilities for another apprentice. She does so with passion, integrity and commitment.”

Brianna was delighted to receive the award.

“It was a really lovely surprise to be awarded Apprentice of the Month. It felt good to know that all my work had been recognised by the College and it felt even more special as I received the email on my one-year work anniversary! I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has helped me during my apprenticeship.”
