Off To Abu Dhabi!

If you’ve been following the success of our brilliant apprentice welder, Josh Peek, then you’ll know that he’s off to World Skills Abu Dhabi that runs from 14^th to 19^th October.

Josh has been working hard to prepare for the competition, practicing his test piece to the highest of standards. It will be a variation of this piece that contestants have to produce in the competition, but the design can be modified by up to 30% by the examiners, creating a bit more of a challenge.

All of us at L and G Engineering like to wish Josh all the best in the competition - we'll be supporting him all the way!

 

Apprenticeship Joy For Josh

Our apprentice Josh has continued to go from strength to strength, not only emerging as an expert welder, but becoming recognised in a series of competitions and awards.

Josh is a former bronze medal winner at Skillweld, has been selected for Squad UK in the WorldSkills 2017 championship in Dubai and is due to take part in the EuroSkills 2016 event in Gothenberg, for which he has been attending weekend training sessions in Cumbria. Having been entered for the ‘Apprentice Of The Year’ Award for the East of England region, Josh has now been named as a finalist in the National Apprenticeship Awards 2016.

 

We continue to be extremely proud of Josh, a student of Great Yarmouth College, who has become a much-valued member of the L and G Engineering team and wish him continued success.

Josh Makes EuroSkills Team!

At the end of November this year, L and G Engineering apprentice Josh Peek will be joining 20 other young UK hopefuls at EuroSkills 2016 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Josh, who trains at Great Yarmouth College, is Team UK’s entrant in the welding section of the competition, in which more than 30 European countries will compete.

EuroSkills brings together young people up to the age of 25 who excel in their chosen vocational skill, with the aim of promoting the status and appeal of vocational training. Skills in the competition include construction, engineering, hospitality and creative disciplines. Running alongside the actual competition are a number of exhibitions, seminars and try-a-skill challenges.

At L and G we’re very proud of Josh and his extremely competent welding skills – he’s a valuable member of our team, and we’d like to wish him the very best of luck at EuroSkills! Next stop Abu Dhabi for WorldSkills!

As Skills Minister Nick Boles said: “The young people who have earned a place on Team UK are worthy ambassadors and show the great things you can achieve with high quality apprenticeships and technical training.”
