      Apprentice Welder & Fabricator

      I worked in this position as an apprentice welder & fabricator for approximately 9 months as I started college 2 months into the academic year. I completed my first year exams and took to welding and fabricating quite naturally. I spent my first 7 months in the stores area so that I could learn the components I was soon going to be welding together. I had only 2 months regular practical experience at my work placement but did practical and theory once a week at college. I've always had a keen interest in welding and fabricating. Show less
