Meet Sienna, our outstanding apprentice excelling in her Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship at Gleeson Homes. From making a smooth transition to becoming an Award-Winning Administrator Apprentice for her exceptional efforts, she continues to impress!
Finding the right route
After finishing secondary school, Sienna decided that she would rather put what she was learning into practice and gain experience during her educational journey. She realised that college education wasn’t the right fit for her future career goals. Sienna’s preference for hands-on learning led her to choose an apprenticeship over college, a choice she believes will set her up for success in the long run.
Sienna’s Journey at Gleeson Homes
Sienna kickstarted her career at Gleeson Homes by diving into their systems and mastering the ropes. Familiarising herself with these new systems enabled her to learn everything thoroughly, which has helped her settle into her role and develop her career quickly.
After understanding the systems, Sienna started to create healthy working relationships with colleagues. She often speaks to their site teams and works very closely with other departments, which helped her secure an award at Gleeson Homes.
Sienna loves being involved in the team and enjoys working with a wide range of people. Gleeson Homes has been excellent in catering to her needs, allowing her as much time as she needs to complete her apprenticeship coursework and have chats with her tutor. This support has greatly benefitted her, allowing her to get ahead of schedule for her coursework.
“The world of work isn’t as daunting as it seems!” Sienna said. She has fitted into her team so well that it doesn’t feel like a job at all to her! Having a little bit of confidence has gone a long way for Sienna. She used to be quiet and shy at school, but starting an apprenticeship has helped develop her confidence massively.
