Celebrating Success: Sophia Woollams' Journey through Apprenticeship at HUC
This National Apprenticeship Week, we take pride in recognising the commitment and dedication of our apprentices. At HUC, we have a long-standing tradition of supporting professional development through apprenticeships. Today, we shine a spotlight on one of our valued colleagues from the Commercial Team – Sophia Woollams, who successfully completed a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Procurement and Supply.
Joining HUC in July 2020 as an Administrator for the Medicines Management Team, Sophia’s career trajectory took a turn as she transitioned from dental nursing to pursue her passion for medicines. Eager to continually learn and grow, Sophia embraced the opportunity to improve her understanding of procurement and supply through the CIPS Level 3 Apprenticeship.
Reflecting on her experience, Sophia shares, “I was keen to develop my understanding of procurement and supply, and the role provided plenty of opportunities to complete my CIPS Level 3.”
Sophia’s dedication and her interest in market development, combined with the knowledge gained from her apprenticeship, resulted in career progression. Within a short period, she secured a secondment as a Relationship Business Partner within the Market Development arm of the Commercial Team. Sophia emphasises, “The apprenticeship led to a new role within HUC as a Relationship Business Partner, where I could apply all the theory and learning gained from my qualification and showcase this.”
