Kieran won first place in the regional qualifier for SkillBuild 2024 for Carpentry, Furniture and Cabinet Making. Kieran has completed his Level 2 Diploma in Carpentry. The SkillBuild Carpentry competition is designed to reflect the role of a carpenter and the standards that are expected within the construction industry.
“I was planning to do A-Levels, but I wanted to learn something new. I had never picked up a power tool before, so this year has been a steep learning curve, but the teachers are really good. We learnt about different joins at first, and then we worked on bigger projects, like a roof. I definitely want to stay at Nescot, so I’ll do my Level 2 next year.”
