National Apprenticeship Week is a time to celebrate the power of hands-on learning, and our colleague Chris is a shining example. He's just earned his qualification as an Electrician after completing his apprenticeship with MSV, marking a significant milestone in his career. 

Chris began his apprenticeship journey in January 2020. Through a combination of practical experience and classroom learning, he has successfully completed his program and is now a qualified Electrician. He's continuing his development with a traineeship at MSV, further enhancing his skills and building a solid foundation for his future.

"I began my apprenticeship in the January of 2020 and have since completed the course and am now a qualified Electrician", Chris says. "I was then offered a position at MSV as a trainee electrician to take on additional training."
"Throughout my time at MSV I have developed professionally and personally. Of course I have learned the technical skills of my trade, but alongside this I've developed in the fields of customer service and interaction as well as working as a part of a team and I've gained the confidence to carry out these daily responsibilities. Naturally, my plans for my future at MSV is to finish my traineeship and stay on in the electrical team as an Electrician."

National Apprenticeship Week highlights the diverse range of opportunities available through apprenticeships. From trades like electrical work to roles in technology, healthcare, and beyond, apprenticeships offer a valuable pathway to career success.  

Congratulations to Chris on this impressive achievement! His dedication and hard work serve as an inspiration to others considering an apprenticeship.
