Sonny Coyne, Electrical Apprentice Graduate
My experience as an apprentice has been incredibly rewarding. The programme provided me with hands-on learning opportunities, allowing me to develop my skills in real-world scenarios. I appreciated the guidance and mentorship from the qualified, experienced electricians who were always willing to share their knowledge and offer support. One highlight for me was the variety of sectors I got experience working in. They not only challenged me but also gave me confidence in my abilities. For future apprentices, I would say, make the most of every opportunity, ask questions, and do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, you will learn so much in the process.
