Carpentry

The reason I've decided to do carpentry because I feel like I focus better working with my hands so I decide to pick a trade. When I complete a project it makes me feel quite fulfilled that I've achieved something. The teachers are great here, if you ever ask a question they're always friendly about it. I'm hoping to go into industry and work placements give you a great idea what it's going to be like working in an industry. I've learnt how to push myself a lot more than I thought I was and what I can actually achieve.
