Background
Maureen enrolled for the SVQ Level 2 Performing Engineering Operations Pre-Apprenticeship course in August 2009. During the course she developed a keen interest in Fabrication and Welding. She then applied for various apprenticeships and secured a full-time apprentice position with a local engineering company. She is now attending the College on a day release basis whilst working for the company.

"College staff were really helpful and went the extra mile in helping me secure a job. Twelve months ago I was unemployed and thought I was too old for an apprenticeship, now I have a good source of income and a career."
