Faith building strong future with JGW

JGW+ learner Faith Bahwish, 18, wants to put her mark on the world and following her time with ACT and a new bricklaying career with KEIR Construction, she’s doing just that.

Faith chose to focus on a career in Construction during her time on the JGW+ programme and gained hands-on training and qualifications at our Hadfield Skills Centre. As Faith’s skills progressed, she was introduced to KEIR Construction, where she is now employed as a bricklayer. It’s a role she’s very excited and passionate about.

She explained: “Bricklaying is very demanding physically but I enjoy doing something in an area that people aren’t sure you can do as a woman. I love proving them wrong and doing a really good job. I went to college thinking that was my only option and I discovered there’s so many other ways to live. You don’t just have to follow the same path as everyone else. That’s why I love ACT because I was able to explore what I wanted to do with my life!”
