Learner Profile: Matilda
Matilda started her Business Administration Apprenticeship after attending a careers event at Training 2000.
Matilda wanted to gain real life skills within the workplace and gain an understanding of how businesses operate to see where she wanted to take her career. Matilda says that her Business Administration Apprenticeship has opened her eyes to new occupations that she hadn’t previously been aware of.
Business administrator apprentices gain a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. This includes small and large businesses alike.
The role may involve working independently or as part of a team and will involve developing, implementing, maintaining and improving administrative services. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.
When looking back on her Apprenticeship journey, Matilda says: ‘I have learnt communication skills, organisation, and systems such as Excel and Word, as well as building customer relations’.
"My Apprenticeship has helped me with my confidence in what I can achieve. "

Matilda says: My Apprenticeship has helped me with my confidence in what I can achieve and given me insight in what my future could look like if I push myself to my full potential. In such a small company, there are so many jobs you could transfer to that you don't even know are possible’.
