Two new apprentices have joined Branching Out in Littleport.
Shahna Shimmin and Kelsey Linney are both working towards care qualifications with the College of West Anglia.
Kelsey said: “With the apprenticeship you are treated like an adult. It’s a much better environment to learn in.
“I never thought I would choose to do education or a qualification without having to.”
Shahna said “It’s hard work going through all the paperwork, getting to know everyone, working on the care certificate and college work all at the same time, but it’s fun and it’s nice being here.”
