This time last year as my friends finalised university plans I wasn’t convinced that it was the right route for me. I knew I wanted to work in construction but wanted to find out more, and luckily I spotted the Manchester Life Apprenticeship.

I grabbed the chance with both hands and from the first interview to today, it has been a rewarding journey.

Manchester Life has given me an irreplaceable opportunity to work in the heart of Manchester and gain vocational experience working with 6 leading companies.

I’ve learned so many lessons over the past year, each day has been crucial in developing my skills and defining my experience.  Manchester Life has given us the opportunity to throw ourselves in at the deep end, working with industry professionals and gaining unique experience.

Each of the placements so far have offered something completely different and has helped me to develop existing skills and gain new ones. I feel encouraged to push myself and develop my skills in order to work towards being one of the future top professionals in the industry, helping to develop Manchester to make it THE city to live, work and stay.
