An apprenticeship is an opportunity to work for an employer and, at the same time, to receive training on site and work towards gaining nationally recognised qualifications. It is a paid job and a full-time, 5 day a week commitment.
The Apprentice National Minimum Wage is currently £3.30 per hour. We pay above this so that, on average, you can expect to earn between £145 and £170 per week in your first year. This rises in your second year. This link to NAS provides further information on apprentice pay. http://www.apprenticeships.org.uk/be-an-apprentice/other-questions.aspx#Question12

The length of your apprenticeship will vary depending on any previous qualifications and/or prior skills levels. Generally, apprenticeships take between 1 – 3 years.

Louis came to K10 looking for an apprenticeship as he had never been given the chance to develop his practical skills. When Louis arrived, he had no site experience and although he had a Level 2 technical certificate in both Plumbing and heating and Electrical Installations, he had little knowledge of how an actual construction site operated.
Louis joined our first cohort of Construction Skills learners and here, he was able to understand other trades such as carpentry, painting and decorating and tiling, as well as a refresher on plumbing and electrical. Louis attended the sessions in the K10 workshop for 10 weeks and always showed great enthusiasm for every part of the course, even the health and safety elements, which saw him gain a Level 1 Health and Safety qualification and a CSCS card. This 10 week course was a great chance for Louis to really develop his hand skills and understand just how the different trades all fit in with each other on a site.
Once Louis had flown through the Construction Skills course, he was placed onto site to complete 3 weeks of unpaid work experience on site which is in Louis’ resident borough of Greenwich. This was a live construction project called Greenwich Creekside, which is managed by the contractor Innc Uk. During his time on site, he was able to gain great exposure to real plumbing and electrical tasks, something he had always wanted to do. For example, Louis assisted the M&E teams with tasks such as; Bathroom installations, containment work & snagging procedures for sign offs. As well as learning practical skills, it was important that that Louis also learned about the day-to-day running of a site and took part in things such as; Tool-box talks, weekly site meetings and general health and safety checks.
K10 received great feedback the M&E sub contractor, Gloster, who Louis worked with during the whole three week period. Gloster really embraced the work experience and gave Louis every opportunity to learn and make the most of the opportunity. ‘Louis has an excellent attitude towards work with the willingness to learn more and always asking questions (in the right way). His punctuality was excellent.’ David Long, Mechanical Manager, Gloster MEP
Louis managed to make such a good impression on Gloster that they requested his services as an apprentice through K10, meaning he is now an official K10 employee and is working with Gloster as a trainee plumber on Ballymore’s Royal Wharf project in Newham. It’s clear that Louis has come a long way and has constantly proved himself, well done Louis!
