Armadale lad Jaac Lockhart is the latest youngster to complete Eagle Courier’s Business and Administration apprenticeship after applying for the role while at a crossroads when leaving school.
Jaac has now secured a full-time role as Operation Assistant and said: “When leaving school, I was keen to secure a role where I could continue learning but also have the opportunity to work.
“Nnot only did this apprenticeship do that but I’ve also had the chance to work within an industry and department of interest.
“The icing on the cake is that I’ve secured a great qualification too. The practical and learning aspect really gives you the best of both worlds and this made the thought of entering the world of work that little bit easier and ensure a smooth transition into the new environment. “
He added: “I’m now taking on a lot more responsibility as I start my permanent role with the firm and I look forward to what the future will bring.”
Samuel Milne, Operation Manager at Eagle Couriers, said: “Jaac has been a fantastic addition to the team during his apprenticeship and it made the decision very easy to welcome him back as an official employee.
“The talent among school leavers is very impressive and is something we are extremely keen to recognise through the apprenticeship programme to give individuals that first insight into the courier industry.”
