Why did you want to become an apprentice with Volvo ?
I’ve always been interested in cars and mechanics from a very early age, and I am interested in the brands, so what better opportunity is there than working with such a great company who has strong environmental and ecological vision for the future of the motor industry.
What inspired you to want to work in the motor industry?
From a young age I have always liked fixing things, I am a hands on person and with my passion for cars, I believed it would be a great opportunity for me, doing something I really enjoy, turning this into a career with a company and brand that has history and a future.
What kind of support have you had from your Volvo Retailer and the Volvo Apprenticeship Programme?
I have been assigned a mentor, who guides me in my everyday tasks and also if I need any additional support, I can also speak to my Manager who is available whenever I need. This is backed up by regular reviews in the workplace from my Apprenticeship Development Coach as well as regular visits to the amazing Volvo Training & Development Centre.
What are your ambitions on completion of your apprenticeship?
My ambitions on completion of the apprenticeship programme are to become a qualified Master Technician, with views to becoming the Workshop Controller one day.
