Lucas is starting his Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship in September with Rochdale Council. Lucas decided that an Apprenticeship was the best choice for him after tried completing his A-Levels but didn’t feel it was the best fit for him, he felt that he would learn better through practice and actively doing the job and getting relevant experience in real-life situations. Some of the Key Skills Lucas is hoping to learn include Safeguarding, teaching, care and support skills but also communication and problem-solving skills.
Lucas felt as though his process in getting his Apprenticeship was super easy and that he had Rochdale Training’s support throughout the whole recruitment process, with quick replies to emails containing queries or questions and feels like he’s been treated exceptionally well.
