Sophie studied an Engineering Apprenticeship with us and is now working as a Nuclear Operator with EDF.
I know I am fortunate to have a ‘job for life’ in the nuclear industry, this makes me very grateful for my apprenticeship, education and career.
When I came to college, I had Engineering in mind, but not the operations side. Whilst attending Kendal I was in a 4-year apprenticeship with EDF Energy, my third and fourth years were spent on-site and studying towards an HNC at Kendal. At the end of my apprenticeship, I was offered a job in Operations instead of Maintenance. It was a surprise and a difficult change, but it was worthwhile. I like the shift pattern as I can fit family commitments easily. I love working with a range of people from different backgrounds.
