Esme was part of the first-ever cohort of Early Years Education and Childcare T Level learners at Oldham College. She completed the course in 2023 and has progressed her career in Childcare.
“I chose the T Level as it was a stepping stone to get to where I need to be,” she says. “The course allowed me to gain experience and build confidence in many different ways.”
Since finishing the course, Esme has found employment at an Additional Provision Programme, specialising in teenager behaviour and SEND.
The T Level was an important part of her career journey:
“The T Level taught me everything I needed to know surrounding safeguarding, child development and how to implement my skills into practice.
“I enjoyed gaining a range of experience in the classroom and on my industry placement – and I was surrounded by amazing tutors, who supported me in both my personal and my college life.”
Looking to the future, Esme’s main career ambition “will always be to help children in any way that I can, and be able to make a difference in their lives.”
