Jodene Jordan

Jodene Jordan - Fifteen's Apprentice Programme Class of 2005. Jodene started her time at Fifteen as an apprentice. She worked hard over the 18 months to graduate. She worked on a number of 'promotional' activities demonstrating the skills she had learnt to try and ensure on-going funding for the Fifteen project. Close to graduation, Jodene realised she was pregnant and soon gave birth to a lovely son, Zak. Jodene continued to work at Fifteen in the kitchen supporting the next intake of apprentices. She was then the first person to complete a graduate training programme as a trainee 'Procurement Assistant'. Realising that she still loved cooking, Jodene moved to the Jamie Oliver Food Team and is intrinsic to the delivery of Jamie's recipes! She is a positive role model that acts as a mentor to the apprentices. In particular, she provides guidance and support to young Mum's filling them with inspiration to be able to juggle motherhood and the challenges the programme provides. CR
