Where are they now?
Name: Stuart Davies
Course: Forestry and Conservation
Where are they now?: Forestry Contractor for the Forestry Commission
"I work as a self-employed contractor providing support for the Forestry Commission across North Wales. I perform general chainsaw work, including thinning and felling trees and clearing areas.
College was great. It provided me with the qualification that I needed to begin this career. The skills that were taught on the course are the skills that I now use every day as part of my job. I gained my job through the link s that the course tutors had with different organisations operating in the industry."
