Nationwide Windows & Doors (NWD) has helped to welcome four new Multi-trade Apprentices with their first professional toolkits as they start their first week at Nottingham Community Housing Association (NCHA).
Alfie, Joe, Leo, and Rosie have been gifted the toolkits, which include all the basics they need to get started in their new careers, as part of a £2,100 sponsorship from NWD, providing them with something practical that will be of great use to them over the next year.
NCHA delivers care and support to people all over the East Midlands and has a track record of providing apprenticeship roles in housing, social care, building trades, and business administration. They work in partnership with the National Apprenticeship Service and local colleges to provide tailor-made opportunities across the organisation and through our contractors.
These apprenticeship positions have been created in the NCHA Property Services team to give the four successful candidates a good foundation in fundamental trade skills. Over the next year they will gain skills in plumbing, painting, joinery, and plastering, before choosing which area they want to specialise in.
Paul Durrance, Regional Operations Manager at Nationwide’s Nottingham Installation Hub, said: “I started my career as an apprentice joiner, so I’m pleased that at Nationwide we’re able to support young apprentices at the start of their careers. Having a good set of tools will help them to learn the skills they need to succeed, and everyone at Nationwide wishes them all the best as they start their new careers.”
