Childcare apprentice highlights importance of apprenticeships

A childcare apprentice is using the hashtag #247Apprentice to share a week in the life for the Storify page of National Apprenticeship Week 2013.

Donna Yarwood from Puffins nursery in Exeter will join ten other young apprentices across a range of industries in the social media campaign.

#247Apprentice aims to capture the daily experiences of young apprentices and encourage other young people to find out about the diverse range of apprenticeships available.

She is currently undertaking a Higher Apprenticeship in Management and will be posting about her role as a childcare manager, running a staff team of 17 and looking after 44 children from 4 March.

The activity has been organised for the sixth annual National Apprenticeship week (#NAW2013) taking place from 11-15 March 2013. The week is co-ordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service.
