Kathleen discovers her talent at SERC
Kathleen is in the final year of her higher level accounting apprenticeship at South Eastern Regional College (SERC) and has already been offered full-time employment with her employer Whitemountain Quarries Ltd where she works as an accounting apprentice.
“My family were all proud of my career choice,” said Kathleen. “My parents were apprehensive about me not progressing to university and instead going to SERC but were always very encouraging and convinced me to enrol. Now they understand the benefits of vocational education and seen how well I have done they are happy I followed my ambition. I think they are also delighted that I don’t have a massive student loan.”
