A course offering Dylan the basics in scaffolding proved just the job for the 21-year-old from Middlesbrough.
Not only did the programme give him the basic skills and qualifications he needed to start work, but it was followed up by a job offer as well.
Dylan was one of three students from the course at NETA Training, funded by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority’s devolved Education Budget, chosen to start work as a trainee scaffolder at Stockton’s JMAC Scaffolding.
“I didn’t know there would be interviews until I started the course but even then, I didn’t think I would be chosen. I have never had luck like that,” he said.
The job with JMAC was a first “proper job” for Dylan who is looking forward to now building his career in the industry.
He said: “I have done bits of labouring experience before but I have always wanted to be a scaffolder since leaving school, but it has taken me until now.”
Hoping to continue to develop his skills, he said: “I want to try and get fully qualified.”
As for the course, based on his experience, he added: “I would definitely recommend it.”
The short Access to Scaffolding course delivered at NETA Training covered a variety of industry qualifications including the CCNSG National Safety Passport, Scaffolding COTS, Scaffolding Appreciation, Scaffolding Mobile Towers, Confined Space (Entry, Awareness and Escape), Mental Health First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work.
