Amazing Apprenticeships - NEW Series 3 Parent Perspective Podcast!
The first episode in Series 3 discusses how a first job can become a career.
So many young people start their working lives in sectors like retail or hospitality, but how can they turn that first job into a career? In this episode of the Parent Perspective, host Rachel Burden is joined by someone who has done just that.
Louisa Ellis reached the final three of Masterchef: The Professionals back in 2017 before returning to win a special festive episode in 2020. She tells Rachel how she’s followed her dreams and forged a career in cooking, working her way from Michelin starred kitchens to running her own private dining business.
Other episodes in Series 3 will include discussions on careers with the Metropolitan Police Service and the NHS.
You can subscribe to the podcast on your preferred platform to never miss an episode.
