Apprenticeship advice

[Mumofone1972]

Dd has a great apprenticeship and is being paid very well and has wonderful opportunities. Just finished first year been rewarded with pay rise. But, keeps forgetting to secure the office when leaving for the day. Been through disciplinary last week and given written warning - what strategies can i advise. 18 year old ditzy (notes and reminders on phone not worked. Loving the job and passing every qualification, even those that shouldn't have been able to do until year 2. Dd is very upset and doesn't want to talk ..

All very well not to want to discuss it but she needs to learn to do it or lose her job. The disciplinary should have followed through with measures to rectify the issue and review. She needs ask to go through the procedure again supervised and then have prompts to ensure she does it in future.

It seems like a big responsibility for an apprentice though.

Gosh that's a really serious error to keep making! She really, really needs to pull herself together and sort this.

Does she managed to lock the house up?!

Surely the disciplinary will mean it's on her mind now and she won't forget again. Can she set up something to alert her on computer, flashing up in screen?

I disagree it's too much for an apprentice, the whole point of an apprenticeship is to learn all aspects of the role/industry you are in. This will include important tasks like locking up and perhaps accounts, payroll, ordering etc.

Thank you for responses sorry to write and run, we had unexpected visitors ! I agree it's not too much for an apprentice, just a bit of a baptism of fire. She is happier this morning and needs to try harder all will be fine I'm sure

Does she realise the consequences of her actions?
That she may not get the same opportunity or be if there was a break in she will be sacked on the spot?

What would she do then?

Reminders on phone not worked. How does she set the reminder up? I don't understand how it cannot work if she sets an alarm to go off at her completion time, with the reminder to lock up the office then showing.

To be honest she has probably been so well looked after all her life that consequences have not been a particular issue. She has been an absolute delight and never given me a moments worry - this has probably left her complacent . Probably a breeze through the first year everybody very happy praise from all angles and too comfortable imo.
The warning is uppermost in he mind and I can only pray it stays there .

Whatthefreakinwhatnow Office is locked but cabinets inside left unlocked if that explains a bit more

She should set a reminder on her calendar at work. 15 min before closing time to close all cabinets.
Also to have a sheet of paper on her desk to mark that she did it with time column on it.
It takes time to form a new habit.
She has to persevere.

antimatter Thank you that sounds sensible
