Anastasia - Apprentice Roof Sheet and Cladding

Anastasia - Roof Sheet and Cladding Apprentice

Every one of our apprentice’s stories is full of inspiration, drive and zest for learning. Each apprentice has their own favourite moments but they all emphasise the significance of gaining the #SKILLSFORLIFE.

Anastasia joined Cotrain in January. She is doing her Roofing and Cladding Apprenticeship with AYM Services.

Immediately she came to enjoy the practical part of the apprenticeship experience and the opportunity to build a good relationship with the site team. She came from her previous job in retail and childcare and fell in love with the built environment, especially with the feeling of being on the roof and seeing the view.

“I’m never in one place, so time goes quick, and I am always learning new things. I am surprised how much goes into roofing! I’ve only just started so my main focus is to get through this apprenticeship so I have a skill that I can use for life.” – Anastasia said.

CoTrain is incredibly proud of employing more and more females in construction and making the industry equal for all. We are inspired by Anastasia enjoying her experience and feeling confident and supported: “Being a female, I was a little bit worried about starting on a construction site, but the team have welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable. I’ve particularly got on well with my supervisor and manager, they have a lot of time for me.”
