Case Study

Brandon Hanson-Stringer, Horticultural Apprentice

"After GCSEs, I tried both Sixth Form and College and these options were not for me as I wanted to start working full time. Choosing an apprenticeship was the perfect choice for me.

Being able to be hands-on and work whilst also earning a qualification within education is the perfect balance for someone like me.

I have made some strong connections and really feel part of the team here at Trent & Dove Housing and within the communities that we work in on a daily basis."
