Many of our apprentices go on to work around the world for various companies, which we are immensely proud of and it is fantastic for us to see the opportunities that have been opened up for them and to watch then grow and succeed in so many different ways.

In my view apprentices are far better prepared for the workplace than students at college. The critical distinction is the experience of working with people day in and day out, both colleagues but more importantly customers. There is no way any college course can rival the opportunities for developing leadership, communication, initiative and teamwork that the workplace provides. These factors are much more important than an individual’s technical or academic capabilities when assessing their potential as an instructor.
