Workstart

I got Information on my different trades and got info about stuff, I have never known about it before. I also feel more confident and apprenticeship ready. I liked that when we learned something you would give us a break to take it in. Change nothing you were great, best teacher I’ve ever had.

This course showed me that any problems I might have, other people will have similar and I’m not alone with any worries I might have. I learned lots about what the trades on offer and how a lot of things work. It feels like I’m progressing well into starting my apprenticeship. Phil was a great, relatable, engaging mentor.

When I came for the first day for the Workstart programme, I didn’t know that much about tools and materials used in the Building Industry, but I know just enough to do my work experience.

I now understand that employers don’t care about skills, they only want a good attitude. Knowing that asking questions is expected and that’s what employers want. I could have stayed longer. Holly

I learned information about tools, and different trades. I’m now interview ready and feel more relaxed and prepared. I also got hear the employer’s expectations of new apprentices. Learning was interesting and fun. Everything was perfecto. You are the man Phil

I liked how Phil was very chill and understanding and I now know what I can expect out of my apprenticeship.

I got a sense of all the different types of trades I can go with and I liked that. Phil is great he showed me that I’m ready now.

I learned the importance of recording. I learned new things. It helped me get better with interviews and talking to others. Straight up you were the best teacher I’ve ever had mate.

I got a lot of information and help. I now feel confident and know that I can do this.
