This apprenticeship taught me some really valuable, key things that have stayed with me in my career, such as time management, how to network, and loads of transferable skills. It’s like doing a business 101 course!
I’m Bee Pevy, and I work in the recruitment team and completed a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship at Lift Schools apprenticeships.
The Level 3 BA programme gave me exposure to lots of different aspects of the business and helped me learn what I was passionate about and what I wanted to do.

I was mentored by my line manager within the talent team, and they made sure that I could access the knowledge, skills and behaviours I needed for the role, as well as dedicated study time.
I also took a functional skills course in ICT, which helped develop my digital skills so that I can use platforms within Google workspace effectively and my trainers and assessors gave me loads of valuable support to complete the apprenticeship.
It helped me figure out what I wanted to pursue. It helped me to get roles in HR with a healthcare company, run my own beauty business, and I’m now an Associate Talent Resource Partner within Lift Schools.
The main things I took from the programme was how to prioritise, manage finances, how to manage marketing channels like social media, and how to improve all aspects of administration that help an organisation to be successful and run smoothly.
The apprenticeship has given me the confidence to take the next step. I’d like to look into taking a degree apprenticeship, and I’m keen to take on more responsibility within the trust.
Other apprentices I worked and studied with went onto work in schools, accounting, and some went into IT.
For anyone leaving school or who wants to make a career change, apprenticeships are a great opportunity to develop transferable skills and develop your career.
Lift Schools apprenticeships are also available for experienced and new hires, offering a great alternative to university. They are recognised qualifications, and they give you first-hand experience in business to learn while you earn.
The apprenticeship provides a structured pathway for learning, combining on-the-job training with formal education. This approach ensures you get the right mix of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which is ideal for anyone starting their career in IT.
The apprenticeship was the best way to learn. In IT, what you learn from a book and real life are totally different. Doing it in the workplace keeps your skills up to date; IT moves so fast. A traditional IT course is almost immediately out of date, but as the apprenticeship is work-based learning, the skills are always current and relevant.
The whole point of these programmes is to develop really amazing, high-level Specialist TAs... I’m proud to be part of a community that feels more like a family, and I look forward to many more years of helping our young people move forward with hope.
