School tells apprentice Michaela: ‘You’re hired!’
DREAM JOB ... Michaela Ovington with nursery children from St Albans RC Primary School.
A SOUTH Tyneside teenager has landed a new job after going back to school.
Michaela Ovington, 19, from South Shields, has joined St Alban’s RC Primary School in Walker, as a new apprentice within the Children and Young People’s Workforce, thanks to help from Newcastle College.
The school needed a childcare apprentice and approached Newcastle College for free help in finding the perfect recruit.
Headteacher Mike Donnelly said: “We always look for something special in our staff, and Michaela has just that. The children are really responding to her enthusiasm and attention.”
The childcare apprenticeship, available through Newcastle College, can be adapted to support individual business requirements and can be a cost-effective way for some organisations to create more local jobs in a tough economic climate.
Michaela, whose new job includes everything from setting up planned pupil activities to assessing health and safety requirements and helping during lunchtimes, said: “I’ve always loved children and hoped that I could work with them one day.
“I feel so lucky that I’ve been able to get this apprenticeship.”
