Lee Catterick, turned his life around when he was given the opportunity to train as a horticulture Apprentice. Lee is just one of the young people to take up the Apprenticeships offered by our grounds maintenance team at the London Borough of Newham, in association with agricultural college Capel Manor.

Leaving school at 13, Lee got in with a bad crowd and spent a year in

prison. Now, he enjoys his work and looks forward to the future: The best bit of my Apprenticeship? Getting up and going to work doing something that gives me a feeling of self-worth. As an Apprentice Im learning a skilled trade, a recognised trade, and Im earning while Im learning. All in one. The bonus is theres a qualification.

The Senior Supervisor and Lees mentor John, says: Lee is enthusiastic about whatever we ask him to do. I think he will be a credit to himself and the Apprenticeship scheme.

The horticultural industry as a whole desperately needs skills to be passed down to the next generation. A lot of people are already coming up to retirement age and we will lose their skills, explains John. Through apprentices those skills are passed on and shared. Our apprentices are full-time, theyre part of the team and do a vast range of jobs.

As part of our commitment to employee development the Apprenticeship in Customer Service is offered to all employees enrolled in The Listening Academy which is an adviser development programme offered to contact centre staff in Serco.

Matthew Varty was one of the first employees at our site in Newcastle to complete his Apprenticeship in Customer Service.

This is what Matthew and his Team Manager had to say:

Matthew said, I was really keen to progress so I often came in early or stayed late after shifts to work with the assessors who were really helpful. They helped me through my Numeracy and Literacy assessments as well as the Key skills and communication workbooks. Im really pleased to have been the first person on the Newcastle site to have passed this. I feel I have achieved a lot and Im really looking forward to getting my certificate.

Matthews Team Manager Scott High said, Im really proud that Matthew is the first person on site to complete his Apprenticeship. Hes been really enthusiastic throughout the process and has consistently displayed great customer service skills something which is starting to rub off on his colleagues. Well done Matthew!
