Hussein’s Story
After making the decision to leave school having obtained a number of GCSE’s, Hussein decided not to take the traditional route into higher or further education, as he wanted to follow a more practical route into Engineering.
He gained employment at a local Fabrication company and given the opportunity to undertake an apprenticeship in Fabrication and Welding. After 6 months he has successfully completed six modules of the Performing Engineering Operations up to NVQ Level 2 and he is working towards his Technical Certificate NVQ Level 2 with an aim to complete within 12 months.
“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do but did know that I wanted to learn a trade and gain hands on experience. Being an apprentice gives me the best of both worlds and I get to earn a wage.”
