Sulimaan engineers dream career at College
A Triple Distinction Star was the cherry on top of an already incredible week for Sulimaan Mohammed, who secured his dream apprenticeship three days before picking up his results.
Having already built fundamental technical skills on his Construction and the Built Environment Course at the College, the 18-year-old from Middlesbrough impressed employers at Newton Aycliffe-based manufacturer Gestamp and was offered an engineering technician apprenticeship with the company.
“I was over the moon when I opened my results,” he said. “Even though I’d already achieved what I set out to do, it felt like recognition of the hard work I’ve put in during my time here.
“My tutors at the college and the team at Northern Skills (the College’s apprenticeship and training arm) really supported my ambitions and gave me the confidence to apply for the apprenticeship – and I couldn’t have done it without them.
Course: Construction and the Built Environment
