Josh's Engineering Experience
Level 3 Manufacturing Engineering
“I’m really appreciative of the College and my tutor who supported me in gaining full-time employment in Manufacturing Engineering. I’m going to be working with the design process and with CAD. I’m really excited about the future.
“My time at College has been great. I really enjoyed my course, especially the hands-on experience we’ve gained using various machinery. My ultimate goal is to become a Professional Civil Engineer.
“I started College as a very quiet, timid person but over the years I’ve built a lot more confidence in myself, my knowledge and my skills. I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved and to have secured a full-time position in the industry already.”
