At the moment I work as a cleaner to get by until I find an apprenticeship to learn a trade. 

I worked in Elis with an agency (Global) where I first worked on the front of the iron, finding the corners at the top of the duvet and clamping them to a hydraulic arm. After three weeks they saw fit to put me in sorting where dirty hotel sheets, duvets, and towels come through on a conveyor belt, needing thrown into the correct shoots. They then had me working on the back of the iron where I had to seal the duvets and carry them to the correct cages. 

I also worked as a picker packer, sorter and bagger, with M.co. I carried out various tasks and I was used for multiple jobs but my main duty was picking and keeping the floor clear for safety. After 2 months I was asked to train newcomers as there were no trainers due in for a period of time which gave me more confidence in communication. 

In school I made a vice for the engineering course. I done this by using a lathe, welder, grinder and other hand tools. I also made a gate latch using the same techniques along with using a forge to help twist the latch as a design.
