Adam Bland, a former Walsall College pupil has been taken on as an apprentice by iLoveHomes in Walsall.

The 20-year-old joined iLoveHomes on a 12-month apprenticeship in conjunction with the NOVA training apprenticeship scheme and is working towards an NVQ Level 2 in Sales of Residential Property.

Adam said, “I chose an apprenticeship in Estate Agency to help develop my personal skills and gain practical experience. The iLoveHomes team have been fantastic and very supportive of my ambitions. Although work is now an integral part of my daily routine, I still make time for the Gym, sporting activities and a very busy social schedule!”

Andrew Thomas, Director, said, “With the help of a good local training provider to identify young people with potential and with a comprehensive training element, we find competency and performance levels after just one year are amazing.

“Adam is a testament to how successful the scheme is, displaying the enthusiasm and commitment necessary in working towards his academic qualification and gaining valuable experience within the workplace.”
