🎓 A Better Fit Than Traditional Learning
For Zoe, the apprenticeship model offered an ideal alternative to classroom-based education. She found that the real-world, skill-focused nature of the SVQ programme allowed her to grow in a way that traditional school hadn’t supported.
“I didn’t suit the in-person school experience,” she says. “Going through HLA and completing my SVQ in Business and Administration has been much more beneficial for me.”
📈 Learning Transferable Skills for the Real World
In addition to core business functions, Zoe’s apprenticeship helped her develop crucial soft skills that are applicable in any role:
- Effective communication
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Problem-solving and adaptability
“These are essential for success in any business environment,” Zoe explains. “They’ve helped me become more confident and work better with colleagues.”
🚀 Progressing Into Digital Marketing
Zoe’s experience with HLA was so positive that she’s now continuing her journey by enrolling in a Diploma in Digital Marketing opening up even more career pathways and technical knowledge.
“Being a learner means I can continuously adapt and improve,” she says. “This journey has helped me become a more valuable contributor at work and given me a clearer direction for my future.”
