Laura

Apprentice

"It was a transformative experience for me. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire staff. The program was well-structured and provided a seamless transition into the professional world. The opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals allowed me to gain practical skills and insights that simply cannot be taught in a classroom setting."

Greg

Apprentice

"I’m very grateful to have completed your JEM Apprenticeship. It gave me the chance to learn and grow in a supportive environment. The combination of classroom learning and real-world projects allowed me to apply what I learned immediately. The Heat loss lesson was my favourite, and I used most of these calculations in my energy project for end point, which saved my department £4000/month after we replaced the equipment."

Mohammed

Apprentice

"Enrolling in your apprenticeship program was one of the best decisions I've made for my career. The hands-on experience and mentorship provided by your team were invaluable. Not only did I learn practical skills that are directly applicable to my field, but I also gained confidence in my abilities."
