In June 2009, 17 year old Kara Moore came to Hull Business Training Centre to start an Apprenticeship in Business Administration.

Before coming to Hull Business Training Centre, Kara had been studying Public Services at College but decided that it wasn’t for her and that she would like to do something more practical and hands on. Kara heard about Hull Business Training Centre through a friend and thought that an Apprenticeship would be the right path for her. Soon after starting her Apprenticeship, Kara secured a placement at Beal Homes as an Administrator in the General Office; a diverse and busy office environment which she finds very interesting as there is always lots to do. Her role includes keeping on top of a very busy filing system and ensuring the post is franked and ready for the evening collection, together with copying the house-type drawings. Kara also takes telephone calls and helps out with both the Accounts and Sales Departments. Kara says “I found the help at the Training Centre was very good especially from my assessor, Janice, and Lee who gave me extra help with Maths”. In March 2010 Kara completed her Apprenticeship and gained a full time job with Beal Homes where she is still happily working now.

Denise Chambers, Office Manager at Beal Homes, says that it is a pleasure working with Kara, “she is always smiling, has a wicked sense of humour, is always happy to help out and give everything to the job at hand and never complains.”
