Harron Finds Home For Apprentice's Ambitions

Ronan Richardson an apprentice at Harron Homes.

After his second-year NVQ Diploma in Carpentry Ronan Richardson has opted to pursue an additional year of studying his craft with Harron Homes and Leeds College of Building.

After enjoying the practical subjects at school and college such as woodwork and benchwork, Richardson decided he wanted to pursue a career in housebuilding and joinery, and knew he wanted to get stuck into a role on site. The NVQ Diploma which he has just completed involved one day at college or learning from home, with the rest of the week spent working on site at Harron’s York Vale Gardens development.

“After studying for three years full-time at college, I knew I wanted to be out on site and be a part of a team” says Richardson. “I initially really struggled to find somewhere that would be willing to take me on after having limited practical experience, so for Harron to take me on as an apprentice was amazing.  I’ve really enjoyed the practical side to my course.”

 

Management career

Richardson has big hopes for his future and is hoping to move into the management side of things in the future. He says: “I want to continue my apprenticeship to broaden my knowledge and skillset. A Level 3 qualification will hopefully lead to more opportunities in the future - and I’m so pleased that Harron is supporting my journey.”
