Case study Catherine Neary, Plumbing Apprentice Catherine is a first-year plumbing apprentice participating in the London 2012 apprenticeship programme. The programme has allowed her to add practical experience towards achieving her qualification of NVQ Level 2. She is being offered the chance to train on a major construction site by getting involved in the temporary plumbing requirements, from running pipe work to connecting to existing water supplies and lagging. The Women into Construction project team matched Catherine’s details to the apprenticeship places available.
She says: “So far the experience has been a good one, but I’m still learning. I know now that I want to be a plumber and need my qualification to get on. I know that I am training for a very good job and this experience on site is great for my CV.”
