Ashton wins again…

We’re thrilled to announce Ashton McConnell has won another award! Ashton started at SS&L as a trainee and has since progressed onto a level 3 apprenticeship. She has now won the Overcoming Barriers Award at the Somerset Education Business Partnership Awards 2020, which took place online yesterday evening. The virtual event didn’t stop Ashton celebrating in style!

Already winning Trainee of the Year at the Grow Somerset Talent Awards in February, we’re delighted that Ashton has gone on to receive this award. It proves that it’s possible to overcome barriers and difficulties to succeed and is testament to Ashton’s commitment, strength and determination.

Ashton’s award category begins at 23 minutes 46 seconds…

Ashton started as a trainee with Teddy Bear Nursery in Washford, where she gained the skills and confidence to succeed. She was supported throughout her traineeship to reach her full potential, gaining maths and English qualifications which enabled her to progress onto her level 3 apprenticeship in childcare. She is now in a career she’s really passionate about and enjoying at Little Stars Childminder in Taunton. Hear her story…

We’re also excited to announce Ashton is to become SS&L’s first Traineeship Ambassador. Her role will be vital, drawing on her first-hand experience, to promote the benefits of taking part in the traineeship programme to both employers and young people.
