Phoenix Consortia in partnership with Juniper Training Ltd were proud to be out in the community this National Apprenticeship Week 🙌

We visited a local school to deliver:

• An assembly to Year 7, introducing apprenticeships and shining a light on careers in roofing

• A 2-hour interactive workshop with Year 10 along with the amazing Louise Downey of Juniper Training Ltd raising awareness of the different pathways into our industry and the opportunities available beyond the traditional classroom route.

We also organised some practical fun tasks to get the students involved and the new VR headsets from Immersive Industry Experiences were brilliant to engage the group!

We also took along 3 brilliant apprentices. Jessie Miller who is undertaking his level 2 qualification and Jack and Jayden Wells who are currently on the Level 1 course. All the lads spoke confidently and professionally and engaged very well with the students. They were a credit to themselves, their families and employers and Juniper who do an incredible job of developing and supporting their students

Social value is hugely important to us at Phoenix consortia

Working in the communities we live in, giving young people real insight into trades, and helping them see what’s possible is something I am genuinely passionate about.

If even one student walks away more confident about their future options, it’s time well spent. 👷‍♂️📚
