Student Case Study: Denise Kelly – JD Group

We recently caught up with Business Administration Level 3 Apprentice and JD Group Admin, Denise Kelly, to gather her feedback on how she discovered her Apprenticeship programme opportunity and how it’s going to date.

Denise told Qube: ‘I am quite new to the JD team, having only been in the business for just over 12 months. Due to my previous employer relocating, I was made redundant. It was a quite a big change in both my personal and work life, and I decided that the time was right for a career change into administration.’

‘My manager spoke to me within my appraisal meeting, informing me of the opportunity to complete an Apprenticeship as part of my development. As I was now in a completely different role, I thought that this opportunity would allow me to broaden and develop my existing skills.’

‘The Apprenticeship has allowed me to use my existing skills, alongside looking at what new skills I can learn in my current role.‘

‘After the Apprenticeship, I am hoping that I can become involved in process improvements within my department, as going forward there are a lot of changes expected in the next 12 months, so I am hoping that I can utilise what I have learned in my Apprenticeship and can put this into practice.’
