3rd year apprentices, along with those from NW Total Engineered Solutions swapped steel-toe boots for hiking boots last week on their second adventure with The Outward Bound Trust. Designed to build confidence, resilience, and teamwork skills beyond the workplace, these trips are an important part of their development.
Since opening our Skills Academy in 2022, we’ve seen the real impact of this initiative, with apprentices returning more self-assured, collaborative, and ready to take on new challenges. The soft skills they gain – communication, problem-solving, and adaptability – are just as vital to their future careers as their technical expertise.
Well done to everyone who took part – you should be proud of what you’ve achieved. 👏
