Josie Biddlecombe at Prettymades

Josie Biddlecombe is keen to progress her career in fashion and is able to do that with her apprenticeship in retail

17-year-old apprentice, Josie Biddlecombe, is working for Prettymades bridal shop in Wimborne. She is working on her level 2 diploma in retail and says that although it is hard work, she doesn’t feel under pressure, like she might have done at school.

She said: “I would recommend an apprenticeship to other people. It is a really good way to get onto your chosen career path and you get all the help and support you need along the way.

“The people I work with at the shop have been really good and helpful too and I am keen to take my career further in fashion. I would definitely like to move onto a level 3 diploma once I have completed my level 2.
