Callum
September 2021
Employed
Callum began his journey at Catcote Academy in Year 7 and successfully
progressed to Catcote Sixth Form in Year 12, where he attended for three
years. Throughout this time Callum had the opportunity to gain real hands
on work experience in a variety of sectors offering him an insight into the
world of work. This enabled him to make an informed choice about his future
career options. He then enrolled onto our Steps Provision, which is a 16 to 24
employability study programme. This offered him the opportunity to further
develop his work skills. He began working with ‘The little Silver Kiln’, which is a
local Silversmith based in the BIS, Creative Hub in Hartlepool. He really thrived
in this environment and had a natural ability in this sector. As a result he was
offered a supported internship. He continued to develop his expertise and
was successful in obtaining paid employment as a trainee Silversmith.
