Grace's Story

Grace's Background

Grace joined the Youth Hub in September 2025.

Grace had just completed a training course and an admin voluntary placement. She was interested in starting an apprenticeship in dental nursing.

First Steps

We started by updating Grace’s CV to reflect her skills and experience.

Whilst on our Programme

Whilst with the Youth Hub, we started by focusing on job searching and identifyingsuitable apprenticeships to apply for.

We also worked on Grace attending appointments independently and building up her confidence.

Grace continued to complete applications for apprenticeships, and we focused on her personal statements to reflect her skills, experience and qualifications.

Grace was invited to two interviews for an apprenticeship within an NHS Admin role and a Dental Nurse apprenticeship.

We completed interview skills and helped Grace prepare for these interviews by researching the roles and the organisations. We looked at her skills and practised answers and examples.

Grace was successful at her interview for the Dental Nurse apprenticeship and started her employment in February.

Next Steps

Grace has started her apprenticeships and is shadowing a Dental Nurse and working towards her NVQ.
