When Ethan joined our Engineering Re-engineered Programme, he was looking for a new direction in his career.
Having worked as a multi-skilled labourer and handyman, and most recently as an NDT Technician inspecting weld quality, Ethan became fascinated by the welding process itself.
Instead of inspecting the final product, he decided he wanted to learn the skills behind it.
Ethan showed full commitment and dedication to our programme and successfully earned qualifications in:
• MIG, MMA and TIG welding
• Industry coding and testing
• Abrasive wheels
• Manual handling
Ethan has now progressed straight into employment, taking the first big step on a career pathway in welding. Witnessing trainees like Ethan is part of Nordic's wider commitment to supporting talent in Teesside.
Well done Ethan from everyone here at Nordic 👏
