I knew that I wanted to get earning as soon as possible, so I started working as a Bricklayer, but it wasn’t really what I wanted to do. I was always good with practical subjects in school and had an interest in Engineering. I was made aware of the Apprenticeship route and was lucky enough to secure an Apprenticeship which, included a Level 2 Diploma in Engineering through the technical college in Dungannon. This allowed me to study on a part-time basis, to further my education and improve my essential hands-on experience. I had no fees to pay for my further education, so I wasn’t left with any debt like some of my friends who went to university. I was able to earn a wage and start saving.    **Why did you choose Engineering?**  Tyrone is renowned for Engineering, and I knew that there would be good career opportunities in my local area. We have some of the most innovative, cutting-edge companies in the world, and Engineering seemed like a fantastic career to pursue.    **Why did you choose to work for Kiverco, and do you enjoy your role?**  After completing my Apprenticeship and with a good foundation in Engineering, I applied to Kiverco as they had an excellent reputation as an employer in the local area. I’ve been with the company for nearly two years, and I enjoy my work. I work with a fantastic team who are very supportive. The company provides regular training and are very focused on the health & wellbeing of all staff. There are plenty of opportunities to develop my skills and progress my career. In the future, I hope to get the experience of being sent to customer sites to carry out maintenance on Kiverco machinery. - Tuesday, 09 February 2021 09:19 ### Social Share [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=National%20Apprenticeship%20Week%202021) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kiverco.com%2Fnational-apprenticeship-week-2021%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) [Kiverco is Growing with 3 New Female Employees](https://blog.kiverco.com/kiverco-is-growing-with-3-new-female-employees) [‘One day install’ for new static waste plant](https://blog.kiverco.com/kiverco-introduces-unique-modular-recycling-plant) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Posts by Topic - [News (30)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/news) - [Customer News (29)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/customer-news) - [Kiverco News (12)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/kiverco-news) - [Case Studies (7)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/case-studies) - [kiverco recycling equipment (6)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/kiverco-recycling-equipment) - [picking station (5)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/picking-station) - [Recycling plant (4)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/recycling-plant) - [kiverco compact (3)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/kiverco-compact) - [mobile picking station (3)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/mobile-picking-station) - [Product News (2)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/product-news) - ["Let's Recycle Live" (1)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/lets-recycle-live) - [IFAT (1)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/ifat) - [IFAT 2020 (1)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/ifat-2020) - [Kiverco Employees (1)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/kiverco-employees) - [dealer annoucement (1)](https://blog.kiverco.com/tag/dealer-annoucement) see all ### Recent Posts ### Plant Solutions - [Construction & Demolition](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/construction-demolition) - [Commercial & Industrial](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/commercial-industrial) - [Municipal Solid Waste](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/municipal-solid-waste) - [Waste to Energy RDF / SRF Production](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/waste-to-energy-rdf-srf-production) - [Fines Treatment](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/fines-treatment) - [Dry Mixed Recyclables](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/dry-mixed-recyclables) - [Incinerator Bottom Ash](http://www.kiverco.com/products-solutions/plant-solutions/incinerator-bottom-ash) ### Kiverco - [Work With Us](http://www.kiverco.com/en/work-with-us) - [Kivercare](http://www.kiverco.com/en/kivercare) - [Videos](http://www.kiverco.com/en/videos) - [Used Equipment](http://www.kiverco.com/en/used-equipment) ### Get In Touch Address: 26 Gortnaglough Road, Dungannon, Co.
