Ingen has celebrated yet another apprentice’s success this week, as 18 year old electrical student Blair Smith was named as New College Lanarkshire’s Apprentice of the Year. Blair, who is currently completing his first year, has consistently achieved strong results across all areas of his work. He has received praise from lecturers commending the high standard of his practical work, as well as his science portfolio. In addition, Blair received high marks for attendance, time-keeping, attitude and conduct.
As a result of the award, Blair was nominated for the Scottish Electrical Charitable Training Trust (SECTT) first stage apprentice of the year, testament to his efforts throughout the year.
Blair commented: “This is my first year as an apprentice so there has been a lot to learn, but my assessments have been steadily improving which has given me a confidence boost – the hard work has definitely paid off. To have been named as the top first year apprentice was a bonus and I am now really looking forward to my second year and developing my skills further.”
Blair’s achievement follows mechanical apprentice, Michael Smith, who won the second year award for Heating and Ventilation at Glasgow Kelvin College earlier this year. Michael, who was commended for his commitment and proactive attitude was then further nominated for a Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) Training Award.
This is the fourth year of Ingen’s apprenticeship programme which currently supports over 40 mechanical and electrical apprentices. The business is committed to nurturing fresh talent and actively encourages its apprentices as they work to gain accreditations.
Jamie Delaney, Executive Director, Ingen, added: “Our apprentices, are quite simply, smashing it this year. We are proud that we have seen both an electrical and a mechanical apprentice recognised and hope that their awards serve as examples to other people throughout the company. “Developing and promoting our people is a key priority for us. Regardless of level, we encourage every single person within the business to reach their potential – the apprentice programme is an important part of this strategy.”
