Tamara's Story
(Business Administration)
"I'm so glad I chose to do an Apprenticeship, it enables me to carry on learning while in a real working environment. It's helped me to decide which career I want to pursue and made me more confident. The staff at Martec training have supported me in my work from the start and I have just started my Advanced Apprenticeship."
Tamara D' Angelo came into Martec training in November 2008 looking for a job in Business Administration. Her timing couldn't have been better as we were looking to set on an Apprentice ourselves! Tamara started with us as an Admin Assistant and has recently completed her Business Administration Advanced Level Apprenticeship.
Tamara's role involves maintaining Martec training's learner's details on a database, monitoring their progression, registration of certification of qualifications, covering reception and general office duties like answering the phone, filing and typing letters.
Tamara says "I'm so glad that I heard about Martec training's Apprenticeships via Connexions, I really didn't want to go back into a classroom environment after I left school so this has been ideal for me. It has enabled me to learn new skills and get a wage at the same time. I think that to work in Business Administration you should be polite, have a good telephone manner and be able to multi task. These are things that I have been able to develop during my time working at Martec training and the friendly staff are always able to offer me help or support if I need it."
Centre Manager - Judith Dodd says "Tamara has shown promise from the moment she set foot in the door at Martec training, she is a good team player yet can use her initiative when appropriate. Her enthusiasm to learn has enabled her to progress quickly and take on new responsibilities. She has responded well to this style of learning and it's allowed her to gain valuable experience and permanent employment here at Martec training. Tamara has now completed her Advanced Level Apprenticeship."
