My name is Harrison and I’d like to share my experience at Building Futures Together. I attended as part of a school program from Pudsey Grammar, alongside other young people learning valuable skills. I particularly enjoyed plumbing with Jack, and also gained experience in electrical work with Paul.
Building Futures Together significantly influenced my career path. Before my GCSEs, John suggested the program as a valuable supplement to college. I worked two days a week, gaining practical experience while earning my qualifications. They provided all necessary PPE, including work boots and clothing.
John, Jack, and Paul created a supportive and engaging environment. While there was a strong emphasis on professionalism, including punctuality and presentation, we also had a good laugh. They ensured I understood employer expectations and provided guidance whenever I faced challenges.
I highly recommend Building Futures Together to anyone considering a career in plumbing or electrical work. The skills and experience I gained have been invaluable as I now pursue an apprenticeship.
