Building and Construction Industry
This is the highlight of my week. At multi trade we work on a simulated building site doing everything from plastering, bricklaying, roofing, joinery and plumbing. We can try each sector or specialise in one area. I really feel like a mature learner doing this course because this is something I only thought I could do when I had left school. I feel great getting on the bus in my overalls and boots…beats a uniform!
