“After a year studying bricklaying at college, I wanted to learn on the job and gain hands-on experience. Working with experienced tradespeople has helped me develop a wide range of skills.
Apprenticeships give people practical experience as well as structured learning whilst in a job.
Every day at NCHA brings something new, and everyone is helpful and supportive. The best part of my apprenticeship is learning new skills, and so far, Plumbing has been my favourite trade.
I’m halfway through my apprenticeship and excited to keep learning.”
