Membersihkan rumah tampak seperti pekerjaan yang bisa kita lakukan sendiri. Tapi, sebelum mulai membersihkan rumah, kita sering bertanya “harus mulai dari mana?” Atau “bagaimana cara membersihkan ruangan yang itu?” Di artikel ini kami memberi proses dengan alur yang rapi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, serta mudah dilakukan oleh siapa pun. Melalui proses ini, Anda tidak akan berhenti sampai rumah Anda benar-benar bersih.
BAGIAN 1 DARI 6: MEMBUAT RENCANA
Clean a House Step 1 Version 2.jpg
1. Tentukan seberapa bersih Anda ingin membersihkan rumah dan berapa banyak waktu yang Anda punya. Menentukan dua hal ini akan membantu Anda menyusun rencana. Sadari dan akui apa yang bisa dan tidak bisa Anda lakukan atau bersihkan, berapa banyak waktu yang Anda punya, dan seberapa niat Anda membersihkan rumah saat itu.
Jika memungkinkan, kerjakan dari atas ke bawah. Anda tentu tidak ingin lantai dasar yang sudah susah payah Anda bersihkan jadi kotor kembali karena debu yang jatuh saat Anda sedang membersihkan lantai atas. Jika waktu Anda tidak banyak, bersihkan hal yang memang paling berantakan terlebih dahulu.
Untuk mereka yang sibuk, ada baiknya mencicil daripada menumpuknya ke satu hari. Tapi, tetap sediakan satu atau dua hari untuk jadwal membersihkan yang lebih lama tiap bulannya. Tentukan gaya yang cocok untuk Anda (kecuali jika Anda punya teman sekamar).

Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships equip you with more competent and
better-trained young people. Apprenticeships allow
employees to effectively learn on the job and are
therefore also ideal if you have staff who are already
working but have few or no qualifications. This training
allows them to work more productively and gives them
better confidence and motivation to work.
Employers that train their staff benefit from increased
productivity, better customer satisfaction, improved
motivation and reduced costs – all leading to greater
profitability.
We offer a wide range of Apprenticeship opportunities
that can lead to a huge variety of roles in many different
subject areas.
Traineeship
programmes
Traineeships will ensure 16-24 year olds will have the
work skills, Maths and English and work experience
needed to start their careers.
Developed in response to business needs,Traineeships
ensure that you have the talented workforce required
for business success.
GPSTL’s government funded contract is utilised to
support training. You are not required to pay young
people taking part in Traineeships but are encouraged to
support trainees with expenses such as transport.
ATA
We are an Apprenticeship Training Agency recognised
by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS). We offer
employment opportunities to young people in a variety
of sectors including education, child care and business.
Our approach is distinctly different to any other available
in the UK. We work collaboratively and in partnership
with local authorities, schools and employers to get a
more diverse and locally based workforce.
So, together, we get local people working with local
companies. We have a dedicated recruitment team who
screen, prepare and match local people to jobs and
apprenticeship opportunities.
Advanced
Learning Loans
We are proud to offer a suite of professionally delivered
loans funded qualifications aimed at those people who

Making use of the qualifications that GPSTL offers has helped us offer qualifications
to over 200 staff and within my role at Hesley, I work very closely with those at
GPSTL to ensure that the service is accurate and relevant for our staff. I also
ensure that contact is made between learners and their assessors and give a helping
hand where and when required.
Having people at GPSTL that are there to listen to us and take action when
required is very important to us and is one of the reasons why the relationship
between GPSTL and the Hesley Group is so good.
Stacey Davidson,The Hesley Group
GPSTL has been extremely easy to work with. They are organised and friendly and
have an in depth knowledge of Traineeships. GPSTL makes the 12 week process
very easy and we look forward to carrying on working together.
I feel that the learners have benefited greatly from attending the programme. They
have developed their communication skills and gained confidence and skills by
working on our range of community programmes. I consider Traineeships to be a
great stepping stone for learners to then progress into an apprenticeship or work.

they can engage learners that providers like us are unable to reach.
We will work closely with the Football Community Trusts, to support delivery, recruitment of local young
people and programme management. We specialise in working within the education sector, offering more job
opportunities in schools than any other provider in the country.
Over the course of 12 weeks Football Trusts will identify a range of potential roles/functions suitable to provide
