As National Apprenticeship Week begins, JTL has celebrated the occasion by unveiling ‘A Day in the Life’ videos featuring two newly qualified electricians, Ben Gillin and Demi Whitehead.
Ben Gillin, a newly qualified electrician currently working at Lloyd Morris Electrical in Wrexham, recently reached the finals of SkillELECTRIC UK, where he secured second place. Ben’s video shows viewers his daily routine, providing insights into tasks such as fitting control panels and wiring panel doors.
Demi Whitehead, another newly qualified electrician, embarked on her trade career at William Davis Homes in Derbyshire after completing her electrotechnical apprenticeship with JTL. Demi was one of the eight UK-based apprentices to reach the finals of World Skills SkillELECTRIC UK. Her ‘A Day in the Life’ video captures the electrical jobs she completes on her employer’s new housing developments.
In addition to these insightful videos, JTL has announced the opening of its thirteenth training centre in Eastbourne.
