Apprenticeships are an important part of who we are, giving people an opportunity to start something new, no matter their age or what they have done previously.
One of our current apprentices is Jessica Donaldson, who moved away from the heart of London and her old life as a civil servant for the Ministry of Justice. Jessica joined our organisation back in August to embark on her new career as a trade apprentice.
Jessica said: “When I first started telling my friends about becoming a trade apprentice at LiveWest, they were really inspired, and they were all saying how great it was.
“Initially, they seemed to think that I was going to do admin but, once I told them about how I would be going out, helping people in our communities and making people feel even more safe and secure in their homes, the more my apprenticeship appealed to me.
“Despite not having any trade experience from my previous jobs, I applied and once I started looking into LiveWest, the more and more it seemed to be a great fit. Since then, I haven’t looked back.”
From fixing taps, fitting bath panels and putting up fencing, Jessica has developed a great passion for the trades industry with our support.
Currently, we have 48 apprentices across many departments of the business. These vary from electrical, plumbing and heating engineering to an apprenticeship in property maintenance.
