"It's been fun, it's been a good learning curve. Everyone is really nice here, the teachers are really good... I would really like to work for the local council afterwards and repair houses, and I would like to be a multi-trader. I really like tiling."
The Challenge
Expand Skillset & Define Career Ambitions
Stuart wanted to build on his existing skills to be able to open up new opportunities in his career. He wanted to strengthen his practical knowledge and explore the different areas of trade work to help inform his future career path.
Supportive Learning & Hands-On Experience
He joined the Construction Skills Bootcamp, delivered by STC Group. The Bootcamp supports learners to refresh existing trade skills while developing new, practical abilities aligned to real workplace needs. Designed to prepare individuals for roles such as multi-trade operatives, the course focuses on building confidence and hands-on experience that can lead directly into employment.
Tools Needed to Secure Sustainable Employment
The programme gave Stuart a supportive environment in which he:
- Developed New & Existing Skills: Gained hands-on experience and developed new skills and interest in tiling.
- Shaped Future Ambitions: Now focused on pursuing a role with the local council, with an interest in property maintenance and multi-trade work.
- Boosted Confidence: A supportive environment and guidance from experienced tutors has given Stuart more confidence in himself and his skills.
Stuart is now equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence he needs to move forward into sustainable employment.
Other Case Studies
“The Innovation Grant Mentoring Programme didn’t just help us write a stronger grant application, it changed how we tell KIGO’s story. That is the kind of support every early-stage founder needs and almost none can find.”
Innovation Grant Mentoring
“The support was incredibly helpful. I was able to step back, really look at where the business was going, and understand the financial side more clearly. It also made me realise the true value of what I was delivering - something I hadn’t fully recognised before.”
Ambitious Essex
“The Essex Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Service has been invaluable in helping us enable apprenticeship employers to secure funding quickly and easily, ensuring smaller employers and apprentices have the same opportunities as other learners.”
