Study Programme to<br />
Apprenticeship<br />
Callum started his Plumbing Study Programme at<br />
ProCo after a recommendation from a friend. He had<br />
previously attended another training provider but<br />
found the bigger classroom environment wasn’t for<br />
him, as Callum said: ‘ProCo stood out because of the<br />
small class sizes – you get that personal one-to-one<br />
support from your tutor.’<br />
It was his ambition to do a Construction<br />
Apprenticeship once he completed his Study<br />
Programme, and that is exactly what he has done! As<br />
part of his Programme, Callum did work experience<br />
with SMJ Joinery & Home Improvements. He<br />
showed that he was keen to learn and impressed<br />
the company so much that they employed him<br />
as an Apprentice. Having started with Level 1<br />
Plumbing, Callum is now doing a multi-trade Level<br />
2 General Construction Apprenticeship. Well done<br />
Callum!<br />
‘A great thing about ProCo is how hard they work<br />
to find learners an apprenticeship… All of the staff<br />
are really friendly and supportive. I have made lots<br />
of new friends and I enjoy the course… I don’t think<br />
you would get the same opportunities at another<br />
college or training provider as you do here.’ Callum<br />

ProCo was established in 2003, and works with<br />
local businesses to deliver a range of training and<br />
qualifications to young people and adults.<br />
