CRAIG STOBBS -
Ayrshire Precision
Craig Stobbs is an Apprentice
CNC Machinist with Ayrshire
Precision.
Craig got his opportunity there
through his own perseverance.
While still at secondary school, he
enquired about work experience
during the Easter break. After that
went well, he was invited back in
over the summer.
Now he’s in the second year of an
apprenticeship following a year
studying at Ayrshire College.
Craig said “I’d initially asked
for some work experience and
they were happy with how I
“
performed. I was keen to start
an apprenticeship after that, as I
wasn’t interested in university and
thought the quicker I could get
into a job, the better.
“Ayrshire Precision is great to
work for because they evaluate
how you are doing and allow you
to do things by yourself when they
feel you’re up to the task. It’s the
best way to learn for me – to learn
by doing.
“I’d definitely recommend the
apprenticeship to anyone. For
anyone still at school, I’d stress
that maths is important for this
role.”
I’d definitely recommended the apprenticeship to anyone who is not interested
in university. For anyone still at school, I’d stress that maths is important for
this role. CRAIG STOBBS - AYRSHIRE PRECISION
