Hands-on learning
The 19 year-old from Nottingham, found the solution through an apprenticeship with employer, Joshua Tree Hair and Beauty Salon and training provider, Realise.
Lucy, who started an apprenticeship straight from school, said: “I found that I learn more when my work is hands-on, and I knew apprenticeships were a great way to get stuck in.”
“I had seen one of my local salons, Joshua Tree Hair and Beauty Salon, advertising a vacancy and that’s how I heard about Realise.”
