Cardo has successfully supported Chichester College student, Brin, through an Electrical work experience placement. Driven by his career aspirations and passion for electrical work, Brin seized the chance at a community event to connect with Cardo’s Social Value Manager, Neal about his need for a work placement to fulfil his college industry commitment. Excited about Brin’s potential, Cardo welcomed him into the Arun team.
Following an application and interview process, Brin was able to gain 317 hours of invaluable work experience under the mentorship of Cardo’s experienced Electrical Operatives Tim and Gary. They provided Brin with tailored support and knowledge to enhance his existing skills, instilling a commitment to lifelong learning.
