Summary

A young individual who recently completed A level qualifications in business and sports studies at Vyners School Sixth form who aspires to fulfil an apprenticeship where I can apply my love for business which I have shown in school by winning multiple subject rewards throughout my 5 years of studying the subject at GCSE and A level. There is many skills that I have learnt through my work experiences and general
life that can be applicable in a work place such as leadership, resilience,
communication, relationship building, numeracy skills, IT skills, teamwork, adaptability, organisation and problem solving. An example of when I have demonstrated some of these skills is when I organised a football tournament for the year 7 boys which had around 100 students attend and required the use many of the skills recently highlighted in order to ensure a successful event.
