“I wanted to pursue a career that was practical and hands on.  I chose to study Electrical for this reason so I would always have a trade for life.  I managed to get a job with a small Electrical company, SJK Electrical based in Epsom through family contacts.  The company has good links with Carshalton College so I joined as an Apprentice.

I am really enjoying the job and work well with the other staff in the company.  I get to work on building sites as well as domestic installation jobs.

The day I spend at College involves both practical activities as well as the theory aspects of Electrical which helps me in my day-to-day job.  I feel I am learning a lot. Paul, my tutor is very approachable and takes the time and extra effort to help you understand what we are studying.  I have one more year of study on my Apprenticeship.”
