Looking for a new career in childcare, Aspen started the Skills Bootcamp to get their foot in the door.
Aspen Liddell from Preston, Lancashire, wanted to explore a career as a Nursery Practitioner and saw the Skills Bootcamp as the perfect opportunity to develop the necessary skills to kickstart a new career.
Our Skills Bootcamps are expertly designed to provide individuals with a direct pathway into the early years sector, helping learners gain practical expertise and confidence to secure an accelerated level 3 apprenticeship or employment.
While currently working at The Fun Experts, a corporate entertainment and events company, Aspen sought a way to transition away from corporate events and into early years education.
“The Skills Bootcamp was a great opportunity for me to learn further,” Aspen shares.
A Team of Support
One of the key services within the Skills Bootcamp programme is the personalised guidance offered by our tutors and career coaches.
Aspen’s Tutor, Daljit was impressed with their commitment and enthusiasm whilst on the programme.
Aspen particularly valued the career preparation support, which included CV-building sessions and interview coaching.
Looking Ahead
With a stronger understanding of what it takes to become a Nursery Practitioner and a well-crafted CV in hand, Aspen is now actively applying for apprenticeships in their local area.
To build up their experience even further, Aspen has also taken the initiative to volunteer at the local Scouts club for the age 4-6 group.
The Skills Bootcamp has provided a clear pathway into the sector for Aspen, offering both practical learning and career progression opportunities.
