Young apprentice, Rebecca Lindsay, has landed a full-time permanent job with Jacksons Law Firm after completing her NVQ Business Administration Level 2 training with the help and support of the North East based Firm. The 19-year-old from Hartlepool, began her apprenticeship in December 2014 with tuition and guidance from skills provider Ingeus, gaining her NVQ qualification just before Christmas last year.
Rebecca attended Brinkburn College in Hartlepool studying Heath and Social Care and English Language for two years, before taking up her apprenticeship. She started her new role in December and is now supporting partners and solicitors at Jacksons Law Firm as an Administrative Assistant. Rebecca is keen to continue with her studies and is now looking at training courses to help her further develop her secretarial and administration skills with the support of the law firm.
Adrienne Patterson, HR Manager, Jacksons Law Firm said, “We have seen first-hand the benefits of giving young people work experience whilst training. It provides them with a great understanding of what it is like being in a busy office environment and dealing with people at all levels. Rebecca’s confidence has soared in the last 12 months and she has gained many new skills required for her new role. We are very proud of what she has achieved and are looking forward to working with her and supporting further training in the future.”
Ingeus tutor Claire Pucci added, “Rebecca has worked extremely hard and dedicated time to her own personal development, knowing the benefits it will bring. She has studied over the past year to gain a valuable qualification and her sense of personal achievement is high. Her confidence has grown immeasurably and being offered a permanent position has had a very positive impact on her.
“It is fantastic to see the progress Rebecca has made and it’s rewarding to be part of a success story such as hers. She has a bright future ahead and I wish her every success in her career.”
