Career building opportunities at Rok
A technician, with Glasgow builder Rok, is recommending young people take advantage of one of the many career opportunities available in the construction industry as highlighted by National Construction week. James McGuire, 63, has worked in the industry for 47 years and is currently working at Rok's North Lanarkshire site installing kitchens.
James, from West Lothian, comments: "There are some great opportunities in the building and construction industry for young people looking for a rewarding career. Modern apprenticeships these days give them the very best qualifications available to make sure they have chance of a long and fulfilling career. A little bit of determination and dedication is also required, of course!"
One young apprentice has heeded that advice and has signalled his intention to carve out a career in the construction industry. Apprentice joiner James Shearer, 16, joined Rok straight from school in August and is already looking forward to gaining his apprenticeship at Cardonald College through a day release scheme.
