Lee Carrick looks forward to the future with a Serco Apprenticeship Lee Catterick, turned his life around when he was given the opportunity to train as a horticulture Apprentice. Lee is just one of the young people to take up the Apprenticeships offered by our grounds maintenance team at the London Borough of Newham, in association with agricultural college Capel Manor. Leaving school at 13, Lee got in with a ‘bad crowd’ and spent a year in prison. Now, he enjoys his work and looks forward to the future: “The best bit of my Apprenticeship? Getting up and going to work – doing something that gives me a feeling of self-worth. As an Apprentice I’m learning a skilled trade, a recognised trade, and I’m earning while I’m learning. All in one. The bonus is there’s a qualification.” The Senior Supervisor and Lee’s mentor John, says: “Lee is enthusiastic about whatever we ask him to do. I think he will be a credit to himself and the Apprenticeship scheme.” The horticultural industry as a whole desperately needs skills to be passed down to the next generation. “A lot of people are already coming up to retirement age and we will lose their skills,” explains John. “Through apprentices those skills are passed on and shared. Our apprentices are full-time, they’re part of the team and do a vast range of jobs.”
Our UK and Ireland Apprenticeship Footprint 2012
Throughout Serco, we appreciate the potential of young people and place great significance on providing them with the opportunities to develop the skills and experience necessary to enter work. We are delighted to be offering these opportunities, which are exciting for the people involved and the company, as we look to recruit the new talent we need to continue delivering high quality services for all our customers.

Apprentice Team Building 2011: International Fire Training Center
This is what Matthew and his Team Manager had to say: Matthew said, “I was really keen to progress so I often came in early or stayed late after shifts to work with the assessors – who were really helpful. They helped me through my Numeracy and Literacy assessments as well as the Key skills and communication workbooks. I’m really pleased to have been the first person on the Newcastle site to have passed this. I feel I have achieved a lot and I’m really looking forward to getting my certificate.” Matthew’s Team Manager Scott High said, “I’m really proud that Matthew is the first person on site to complete his Apprenticeship. He’s been really enthusiastic throughout the process and has consistently displayed great customer service skills – something which is starting to rub off on his colleagues. Well done Matthew!”
