As part of our National Apprenticeship Week celebrations, we spoke to Matthew Whistance about his apprenticeship at Elite Precast Concrete. Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m currently undertaking the Level 5 Mineral Products Technician apprenticeship, which I study alongside my full-time role as Operations Co-ordinator at Elite Precast Concrete.

“The apprenticeship is delivered through the University of Derby in conjunction with the Mineral Products Association, of which Elite is a member. The course combines structured academic learning with practical, work-based application.
