Hi Guys
Having read the posts here on 'How not to' & other Lads searching for opportunities to build up experience, I'll throw my hat in if I may...
Am 34 & have commenced the '2330 C&G Electrical Installation' course at Saltash College Cornwall - Construction centre. I currently work W/ends for an Instore Marketing Group in Dorset hence I have 2-3 days available during the week. 2x nights I attend College but wish to accelerate my practical knowledge. Print Trade is on its backside & although in a relatively well paid position am looking more to the long term.
Would an opportunity exist with any Electrical companies in the South West area (Cornwall/Plymouth/Devon) that may have a genuine interest in allowing a Mature retrainer to shadow them for the 2-3 days I have available? I have been advised to seek out Electrical Labourer positions by the college tutor. Without being naiive I will be willing to work for no salary in return for a genuine opportunity, as I am renumerated by my current job.
I am paying my own expenses towards my course fees, have my own transport with a clean driving license but have not applied for CSCS Card. I'd hope that this shows a genuine request & with the course being 3 years (including NVQ3) I'm in for the long haul so would not entertain wasting my own or other's time.
Look forward to any responses or advice.
Andrew
