In July of 2024 I had qualified for the Level 3 Retail team leader apprenticeship. I gladly took on this challenge and was promoted to the position of Retail supervisor. Throughout the course of my apprenticeship I developed key skills in management and retail leadership. I was able to lead my team and achieved the day to day tasks set by the company as well as complete the weekly learning tasks set by Inspiro learning, the apprenticeship company.
