Jake – Construction Traineeship

“I just finished School in the summer. I started with Optimum Skills on my Traineeship shortly after.”

“I was always interested in getting into Construction, that’s why I chose the Traineeship. In School I did things like tech as that was the closest thing to construction.”

“I hope to gain an apprenticeship in roofing. I’ve learned a lot of things like how to measure tiles, where to put them, different techniques in roofing, so I hope to gain more of these skills.”

“It helps you improve before just going straight into a job without knowing anything. So it gives you a bit more experience on what you’re supposed to be doing.”

“I’ve learnt a lot about roofing like, which tiles should be the overhangs and why these tiles need to be different, how to take measurements for tiles. I wanted to do roofing because of my uncle, I want to learn how to do a lot of the stuff on the roof to be able to help out.”

“I’ve liked doing stuff hands-on, roofing, being outside, trying to work out stuff, also being mates with people here as well.”
