Naomi wanted to try something new, “I didn’t know what I want to do when I am older, and apprenticeships are the best way to learn so I wanted to experience something different.”

Naomi would go to Pret with her mum and when she looked online for apprenticeships Pret came up and it looked like a good programme and she liked the idea of a degree apprenticeship.

Naomi says, “Since working at Pret I have learnt how to manage my time better whether it be working in the kitchen on food production or in other areas of work, in the beginning it was harder. My pace in the kitchen has really improved too as in the beginning it was difficult to be quick.”

“I would like to be a manager and run my own shop one day. I am currently deciding which key role or path I want to take but I want to try new things and experience different options as I go along.”
