The Parent Perspective Podcast episode 8 is now LIVE!

Today, it’s all about YOU!

We're talking about parents changing careers and upskilling! 

Rachel's guests, Karen Cotici (Mum of 4 and an Adult Nurse apprentice) and Marie Doherty (Director of Apprenticeship Programmes and Senior Lecturer in Nursing at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Keele University), discuss their personal journeys.

Karen explains her journey from working in finance to retraining to become a Nurse, why she made the jump and chose to retrain through the apprenticeship route, and how she balances the role, study and home life as a parent

Marie talks about the degree apprenticeship route, why apprenticeships are important and who the opportunities are available to, as well as what support Keele University offers to those wanting to make a change themselves.
