North-East financial adviser Carterbar has taken on
seventeen-year-old Ashley Kane as its first ever apprentice. Carterbar, which is
based on the Belasis Business Park, in Billingham, Teesside, says that it was
impressed with the teenager when she did work experience and was determined to
invite her back.
Ashley, from Billingham, has been given a six month
apprenticeship as an administrative
assistant, as part of a programme run by the A4e organisation. During her
time with Carterbar, she will not only been given training in administrative
skills but will also study for a NVQ Level 2 in
administration.
Carterbar Managing Director Arthur Dornan said: “Ashley
impressed us when she came for work experience a couple of years ago. It does
not matter to us that she does not have a background in financial services. Our
philosophy has always been that a person’s attitude is the most important thing
about them. We can train them in how to do the job. Ashley’s attitude is
excellent. Our view has always been that people can achieve success if they have
the right attitude.”
Ashley said: “Although I was at college, I was more
interested in the idea of learning on the job which is why I liked the idea of
an apprenticeship. Administration appeals to me because it can be applied in all
sorts of jobs. I am really enjoying my time at Carterbar.”
Carterbar's services include advice on investments,
pensions, mortgages, life assurance, income protection and medical
cover.
