Careers visit leads to apprenticeships for Harley and Tyler

Congratulations to Harley Sharp and Tyler Straub who have been offered apprenticeships with Swale Scaffolding. Their appointments follow two careers’ visits, one by Aaron Pepe, contracts manager, hosted at Richmond School, followed by the students being invited for a tour around Swale Scaffolding at their site in Brompton-On-Swale. The careers visits gave Harley and Tyler the opportunity to learn more about their line of business, talk to staff about what it’s like to work at Swale Scaffolding, and really get a feel for the company. The students are due to start work in August.

Paul Ward, Managing Director, said: “We are delighted that both Harley and Tyler were successful in their applications. They both really impressed us during their recent careers visit and in their interviews, with their positive attitudes, smart appearance and eagerness to find out more about the company.  They are following in the footsteps of Matty Davis, who joined us last summer and will be a great role model for them.  We are most appreciative of the links we have with Liz Mannion and the Careers team at Richmond School and look forward to welcoming Harley and Tyler to our team.”

Ruth Hamer, Careers Advisor, added: “We are delighted to hear that Harley and Tyler have secured their Apprenticeships with Swale Scaffolding, they have done so well and we are sure they will be both be starting very successful careers. Here at Richmond School we are strong supporters of Apprenticeships and the advantages they give to young people taking their first steps into the world of work. To have strong links with local employers such as Swale Scaffolding, who offer such fantastic opportunities to our students, is wonderful. We look forward to continuing to work with Swale Scaffolding in the future.”
