Here at SMD, Robbie’s job involves assembling mechanical and hydraulic parts and refurbishing equipment for SMD Services. Robbie studied Ancient History at the University of Leicester, looking for a change, he found SMD through Tyne North Training!
Beyond his mechanical work, Robbie loves his free dinners here at SMD, it’s a daily treat that brightens his workday. Robbie adds, “I think an apprenticeship is a very good way to further your education and gain qualifications while earning! I think apprenticeships are great for practical knowledge and transferable skills, while university provides problem-solving abilities and a smoother transition into working life.”
Robbie’s journey illustrates the diverse paths available. Whether it’s hands-on apprenticeships or university education, both offer unique ways to grow and develop skills.
