Itchen Sixth Form College

Lucy Prout
SUN Progression Mentor at Itchen Sixth Form College
What is your role at the college & how can you support the students?
What has been your career journey & what did you study?
Upon leaving secondary school I felt there was nothing I wanted to pursue, and I found myself going straight into work in a salon doing an Apprenticeship. I worked my way up to the top of that industry over 8 years, until realising a big part of my journey was unfinished from all those years ago. I was a huge advocate for apprenticeships, and learnt a lot from working for a private training provider. I’ve since worked in a college setting, having an interest in raising attainment and haven’t looked back since. I have also recently completed a Level 6 qualification in Careers Development.
What is a fun fact about you?
I love taking time out to swim and do yoga. I also enjoy spending time with my family outdoors (and eating!)
