I wanted to learn a trade that would stay with me for life whilst also gaining a qualification, and with my apprenticeship I can do both.

I would recommend an apprenticeship to anyone. You earn whilst you learn and become responsible for your own future. It is a great opportunity.

My advice to other girls wanting to get into Engineering is to just do it. Don’t be shy, be confident.

You learn something new on the course everyday – I get to use different machines and tools such as lathes, pilar drills and all the safety equipment.

My favourite thing to do on the course is use the range of machinery such as the lathes which we use to cut different metals.

My dream job is to do oil rig welding abroad so I’m going to gain as much experience as I can in my current apprenticeship job.
