Heidi graduates to Procurement Administrator
Procurement experts Prosper have rewarded Heidi Molloy with a permanent position within the business after impressing during her business apprenticeship.
Heidi, 19, joined Prosper in November 2022 as a business administrator learning the fundamental aspects of the business including systems and structures, reporting and invoicing and payroll.
She was referred to Prosper through EN:able Futures, who specialise in finding apprentices for roles within the built environment, employment and education sectors. She completed various modules over an 18-month period, culminating with a written exam and a presentation on an administration guide with a City & Guilds Examiner and has graduated with a Level 3 qualification in Business Administration.
Based at Prosper’s office at Cobalt Business Exchange in Wallsend, she worked full-time in the office, while all learning was done virtually which allowed her to experience working in a busy office environment.
Commenting on her role, Heidi said:
“I’m really grateful to Prosper for giving me the opportunity to undertake my business apprenticeship and offering me a full-time permanent position within the business. The apprenticeship has prepared me for my role as a Procurement Administrator including understanding the valuation of contracts, learning about the operational tracker, contract management, the financial side of the business and using Microsoft Dynamics CRM system.
“I have learned so much over the two years and it has provided me with an opportunity I wouldn’t get elsewhere. Working in a busy office has not only helped me with my work skills but also life skills.
“No two days are the same which is why I love my job, I enjoy working with the team and supporting our clients. I’d like to stay in business as a career. I enjoy working here and with the opportunities here, I feel I can progress.”
Rod Brasington, chief executive of Prosper, said:
“Heidi has proven to be a valuable asset to the team and excelled during her two-year apprenticeship here at Prosper. As she was coming to the end of her apprenticeship, I had no hesitation in offering her a full-time position to support our Procurement and Contracts Managers. It proves that hard work pays off and apprenticeships are a great pathway to a career. Well done Heidi.”
