Student Stories

I think it’s so important that we get more females in construction. After finishing school, I didn’t think it was an option for a girl to do a trade, as A Levels and universities are traditionally pushed as a better route. I hope that maybe one girl will see this and realise that she can start a career in trade too with an apprenticeship. And then she will inspire another girl, and the domino effect will finally get more women in construction.

I decided to choose the route of an apprenticeship because I didn't think university was for me and I really liked the idea of learning while I was working and earning while I was working. You're not just studying all the time you're also hands-on at the job as well so you're learning a lot more because you're applying it on the job as well.

It hasn't been a problem combining work and time at the College. James, my trainer at the College has been very supportive. He is always there for us, ready to answer questions. I’ve learnt a lot from him. I recommend doing an apprenticeship in Plumbing and Domestic Heating. It gives me the freedom to do what I want to do.

I’ve always been interested in how things work and taking things apart. My dad is an electrical engineer so I had that exposure growing up; he was always showing me how to do things like wire fire alarms.

One of the best things was the emotional intelligence bit on the course so I really enjoyed that and I've been doing bits and pieces out of the course throughout my career but doing it in step-by-step stages and methodically was new learning for me. It was no trouble doing this apprenticeship, obviously, you've got to put the work in and a bit of time but you can carry on working as well which is really good and fits into your lifestyle
