Sarah, Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner apprentice

Case studies
At LCC, we are proud to support the growth and development of our apprentices, helping them build skills and confidence to thrive in their careers. Jade is a fantastic example of the success that can be achieved through an apprenticeship.
Jade’s story
“I started my Level 2 Customer Service Apprenticeship with LCC March 2023, I gained experience across a number of different areas of the Council, providing Business Support to SEND and Fostering and adoption Teams, learning new skills, and gaining invaluable work experience through more experienced colleagues. I was supported to take on new challenges and new responsibilities, quickly adapting to the constantly evolving procedures and needs of the Council, which has helped build my confidence and grow my desire to continue my journey with LCC.
I completed my Apprenticeship in March 2024 and received a Distinction. This enabled me to secure a permanent role in Business Support Team. I currently work in the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding (DoLS) team, providing high-quality administrative support to the DoLS processes and team to enable them to fulfil their legal duty in supporting vulnerable people who lack capacity to consent to their care and treatment. The nature of the role means I handle highly sensitive and confidential information, and regularly work under pressure and to strict deadlines, ensuring information is captured accurately in a busy and reactive environment.
The Apprenticeship was a great move for me, I feel proud to work for LCC, and it is very rewarding knowing that my role makes an important contribution to supporting the communities within Lincolnshire.”
If you are considering your next step, an apprenticeship at LCC could be the chance to develop your skills and make a real difference.
T-Levels
As part of National Apprenticeship Week and T-Level Thursday celebrations, Matt Fairweather, Principal Engineer, shares his perspective on why hosting these placements is so important.
“We decided to host T-level placements as part of our approach to recruit locally and promote civil engineering. By providing students with hands-on experience, we help develop their skills and offer them a path toward employment and apprenticeships within our organisation.
To ensure students like Olaf feel motivated and confident, we provide thorough inductions, give them a variety of tasks and training, and coordinate their placement activities with their school curriculum. This not only keeps the work diverse and interesting but also helps them grow in a supportive, friendly work environment.
We’re excited to see how these placements shape students’ futures. For Olaf, we’re hoping this experience leads to a career in civil engineering, and possibly within LCC. The placement gives him valuable insights into the industry, and we’re proud to contribute to his professional development.”
Here’s what Olaf shared about his T-level experience to date.
“A T-level is a great opportunity to dive into a specific field because it offers practical, hands-on experience. It’s not just about learning theory but applying it in real-world situations. If you’re certain about your career path, a T-level placement is a valuable opportunity to gain experience in that field.”
