Joel Jackson’s experience, Nuclear Business Apprentice

“It’s been brilliant getting to work with a variety of people. Those individuals imparting their knowledge has certainly benefitted me and developed my personal skills and technical skills over the two years. The structure of the scheme has allowed them both to work in parallel and it’s been brilliant.”
