Luke Risbey – Groundworks and Construction Plant Operations Success Stories Luke Risbey - Groundworks and Construction Plant Operations Back Having always had an interest in construction, 35-year-old Luke Risbey signed up for a plant operative and groundworks sector-based work academy programme (SWAP) after being made redundant in November 2020. Jamie said: “Being unemployed is tough but the course has got me motivated again, improved my confidence and is preparing me to go back to work. “I’m currently on phase one of the programme and have learnt a lot about brickwork – including the correct way to laying to the line, levelling and jointing, – as well as soil drainage which was interesting as you don’t really think about how it works! “It’s a really relaxed way of learning and the tutors are very knowledgeable – they give us advice on what we should do, and other tutors from the construction department who aren’t involved with the course often pop in and give us hints and tips to improve our knowledge further. “The Covid safety measures that are in place are good and we can get tested regularly which is a real bonus, and having a guaranteed interview at the end of the course is brilliant – I’m excited about it and ready to start again!” NAVIGATE Disclaimer Latest Vacancies Cookie Policy Privacy Notice College Documents & Policies Accessibility Statement NEWS & EVENTS COLLEGE STUDENTS TO LEAD TWO-MINUTE SILENCE IN MEMORY OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II READ MORE STILL TIME TO SIGN UP FOR COLLEGE COURSES STARTING THIS MONTH READ MORE COLLEGE IN PLEA FOR INDUSTRY EMPLOYERS TO TAKE ON APPRENTICES READ MORE READ ALL NEWS Search Courses EMAIL mail@wolvcoll.ac.uk PHONE 01902 836000 SOCIAL facebook twitter instagram linkedin Copyright © 2022 City of Wolverhampton College Book your place Don’t show me this announcement again Close Close We use cookies to personalize your experience.
