Trainer: Brickwork
Biography
Jay left School in 1998 to pursue a career in Brickwork. He enrolled at West Nottinghamshire College where he was lucky enough to get an apprenticeship and went on to gain NVQ's Level 1,2 and 3 in Brickwork, whilst attaining an award for outstanding brickwork along the way.
After achieving his qualifications, Jay stayed with his apprenticeship employer (house building) to gain valuable experience. Three years later, he decided to venture out and form a partnership with a fellow student from West Notts College. In 2007, Jay set up his own building company and specialised in extensions.
During this time, Jay’s dream job (teaching) became available at West Nottinghamshire College. He started as a sessional teacher and gained part of his teaching qualification, before being headhunted to work at a local secondary school delivering brickwork to post 16 students.
After 14 years however, Jay decided to return to West Notts, to continue his career back where it all began.
