Will Doleman’s story: When Will started to work with YES Manchester he had struggled to decide on a career. They gave him advice and guidance and Will’s confidence grew. He decided he was interested in an electrical apprenticeship; so YES helped Will with his maths and English and he passed the test required. Due to his lack of experience they also suggested that he complete a work experience. After impressing Mears he was asked to apply for an electrical apprenticeship and is now an Electrical Apprentice with Mears. Paula Law, Recruitment Manager at Mears, said: “We are delighted with
Will, we know that candidates put forward by YES and Re:vision have had a lot of support and are always well prepared for work when they come to us.”
Alex Tyrie’s story: On leaving school Alex was keen to undertake an apprenticeship, but after a rocky start to his career he felt let down and his confidence was very low. He sought support form Salford Search and the Broughton Trust, where they worked hard to rebuild Alex’s confidence and put him forward to Re:vision for an Electrical Apprenticeship opportunity with A B Electrical. Alex started his apprenticeship on January 3rd this year. Re:vision liaised with Salford College and arranged for him to be signed up to complete his apprenticeship. Alex is now working as part of the team that are improving the housing stock of Salix Homes in Salford. As with all Rexel sponsored apprentices Alex has received a tool kit and will continue to receive mentoring support for Re:vision. Simon Crewe, the Commercial Manager at A B Electrical, said: “The work
undertaken by Re:vision with its local employment group partners is key to sourcing candidates from the local communities where we work. We are delighted with how Alex has fitted into the team and confident he will have a great career with us in the future.” Alex added: “This opportunity is great for me as I have always wanted to be an electrician. I live in a Salix Homes property and I’m proud to be improving other tenant’s homes in Salford and putting some good back into the community.” Fiona Sharp – Operations Director, Re:vision said: “Alex is not unusual, we come across many young people who have completed a diploma and have still been unable to secure employment. As a result of the funding we have received from Rexel we are able to make a difference and support employers and their apprentices, putting a stop to wasted talent.”
Will really appreciates all the support he has received form from YES, Re:vison and the sponsorship from Rexel saying: “All the work I did with YES and the pre-interview with Re:vison really helped to settle my nerves, I hadn’t had many previous interviews. When I was offered the work trial, I was determined to show Mears that I was hard working and reliable. I can’t tell you how much this opportunity means to me and my future. I’m really enjoying my time as an electrical apprentice learning all the skills I need to become qualified.”
