The HTQ has suited my learning style and benefited me as it’s hands-on learning.

I’m quite a practical person and enjoy being at work. I do four days a week at work with one day in college.

In my job, I go out on-site about once a week and for the rest, I am in the office doing tenders, sorting invoices and pricing.

I jumped on the chance to do it to learn new things and extend my engineering knowledge further.

I’m proud to represent my company and I’m proud of myself with how far I have come with bricklaying.

I enjoy my industry placement at Drax Power Station in Selby the most and doing hands-on learning in the workshop.

Drax has taught me a lot about their apprenticeships including how I can sign up for them and what they involve.

I want to be a social worker and being able to pass my Level 2 and Level 3 Health and Social Care courses will give me a better opportunity to get to university.

I am studying on the FLEX programmes and particularly enjoy Maths, English and the employability side of the course.

I chose to study at Castleford College as it had the Beauty Therapy course available that I wanted to apply for and it is also local to me.
