Jack's Success Story
Learn more about Jack's journey at PVC after hearing about us from a family member
17-year-old Jack from Chorley studied a BTEC Level 1 in Construction at PVC.
After leaving school, he didn't have a real idea of what to do next, and doesn't see himself as the academic type. Jack heard about PVC through a family member and thought it sounded interesting. He came along to see what we're about and the rest is history!
“I’ve really enjoyed it. The learning is very hands-on, which makes it easy to stay interested. From plastering to bricklaying and decorating, no two days are ever the same. The teachers and staff are another big reason why I’ve enjoyed it. They treat everyone as equals, and are always respectful. This has created a great environment for everyone to learn in.
"I’ve learnt lots of things, including how important hard work and doing something you enjoy are. I’ve become interested in plastering and have recently been staying behind after class to help plaster the PVC building as a way of giving something back."
Jack's family are proud that he's attending PVC, saying he's become much more positive after finding something he enjoys doing and can see future prospects now. When asked what's next, Jack told us:
"I think for the first time I am optimistic about the future."
