Ryan Merchant, 17 from Gloucester started his apprenticeship with E G Carter & Co Ltd back in September 2018 after finishing his GCSE's at Severn Vale School. Ryan chose a practical apprenticeship as this was more in line with his future aspirations of becoming a qualified tradesperson.
After 15 months of experience and attending college once a week to learn the theory behind his apprenticeship, Ryan has been on a range of different sites completing work at Cirencester Library and varying other sectors ranging from healthcare, leisure and residential but is now based on site at Robinswood Hill as he helps with the new internal refurbishment and extension. Thanks to our own experienced bricklayers, Ryan is spending his time shadowing and learning from their experience and knowledge they have gained over the years.
