About me

I'm 16, I'm at college learning the trade, and I want to become a qualified electrician.

Olly smiling at sunset

I've just started my Level 1 electrical course at Knowsley Community College. I like practical work, and wiring boards at college has made me sure this is the trade for me. Now I'm looking for a firm that will take me on as an apprentice so I can learn it properly on real jobs.

I've already worked with customers, on a service desk and on busy market stalls, so I know how to talk to people and I turn up when I say I will. I've got my own transport too, so getting to a yard or a job on time isn't a problem.

My work

Boards I've wired in the workshop at college. Tap one to see it full size.

Practice boards, Knowsley Community College, 2026.

What I bring

I'm new to the trade, but I'm not new to working.

Hands-on

At college I'm wiring lighting, switching and socket circuits on practice boards, and learning to do it neatly and safely.

Good with customers

I've answered customer calls on a service desk and served on busy Christmas market stalls.

Reliable

I turn up on time and I see things through. Training at an MMA gym has taught me that.

Team player

I've volunteered with Alfie Squad, working as part of a team to run fundraisers and tuck shops.

Into technology

I'm really into tech and I've worked in an IT business, so new kit and new systems don't worry me.

Keen to learn

I listen, I ask questions and I take feedback on board. I want to learn the trade the right way.

Experience

Where I've worked, volunteered and studied so far.
