Chloe- Business Administration Apprentice

Hi, I’m Chloé. I work in the Student Record department at Tameside College. I am currently working as a level 3 Business and Administration Apprentice. I have been at Tameside College for just over 2 years now and have covered two departments. My current role involves enrolling the students who attend the college, handling money and doing student cards. I also do general administration jobs, like printing, photocopying, sending letters, email internal/external customers and filing. I enjoy working with the people alongside me and meeting new people on a daily basis, which has built my confidence up.

 I also covered the Helpdesk role for IT Services, where I completed my level 2 businesses and admin, my main roles were to book jobs for the technicians, change student passwords and answer calls and emails. The best part of the apprenticeship is that I earn while I learn and that I am gaining experience in an office environment.

I would advise anyone to do an apprenticeship, my advice would be to stick to the apprenticeship to gain new skills, get experience, earn money while you get the qualification and hopefully get a full time job out of it.
