“How is your apprenticeship giving you the skills to succeed in life and work?”

We selected three third year apprentices and would like to highlight their hard work and dedication. As this year’s focus is on skills potential, we spoke to them about the skills their apprenticeship has taught them for both work and general life.

Sean Snaddon – Electrical Apprentice: "The apprenticeship program has helped me to progress my career, open up new opportunities both professionally and in my daily life. Learning day to day on the job while studying helps to develop problem solving skills and work with new people in a variety of ways.

Oliver Fleming - Carpentry and Joinery Apprentice: "I am really enjoying my apprenticeship as I am getting to work with a variety of different people on the job site and I am working with tradesmen that are willing to teach me the aspects of my job. I am then able to take in this information and carry out these jobs myself which is setting me up well for the future."

Craig Fleming – Bricklaying Apprentice: "I enjoy the apprenticeship journey as it has provided me the opportunity to work with a variety of people, to develop professional relationships with diverse groups of individuals and learning from their experience, enabling me to give 100% and support one another."
