“At school I had some friends who were electrical installers and they said it was a great job, and everything they were doing was what I wanted to do. I’d planned to stay on for a sixth year but then I saw a college course for a Pre-Apprenticeship Programme with ScottishPower and went for that instead. After that I went on to the Craft Apprenticeship Programme. Now I’m training to be an overhead linesman.”.
