Ridiculously proud
I don’t think I have ever put anything like this on a public forum before but I am bursting with pride for my wee brother today.
He left school in 5 th year before his highers as he was being hounded by bullies and I got him into a local college to finish them off. He was very lucky to get an apprenticeship at the local power station and after his 4 years he moved down south from up here in Scotland. That broke our hearts but he had met a girl, who he has been married to for years now with 3 beautiful children. About 6 years ago he said he had applied for a job in Abu Dhabi then about a year after that he called to say he had the job, so he has been there for over 5 years now. Last night he was the Shift Manager on the crew who linked their power station to their grid. It’s the first time electricity has been generated in the UAE from Nuclear Power and my wee brother was the person in charge of it all. He has worked his ass off and taken chances by moving away and I am just so proud. Edited at 07:43 PM. |

And you should be, the power of apprenticeships! I was actually on an employer forum who created one of the new standard, they have been one of my passions since I moved into HR.
This is one of those fantastic examples of where that route can take, do send our congratulations, and well done to you too, your support is part of his success.

Thank you, that’s such a lovely thing to say. He was so clever at school but it wasn’t the right place for him to learn as he was also quite independent.
When he moved and started working his way up we used to joke that he couldn’t believe he was ‘winging it’. He could never believe his success. |

You are right to be proud, and to share with people who will see that qualifications arent everything and his true potential has shone through. X
