What is it really like to start an apprenticeship, learn multiple trades, and then specialise in a career you enjoy?

In Episode 3 of the WorkWise Apprenticeship Podcast, student interviewer Oscar sits down with Leon Chappell to discuss his journey from apprentice to Carpentry Improver and the skills he has developed along the way.

Leon began his career in September 2023 as a Level 2 Property Maintenance Apprentice while studying at City of Portsmouth College. During his two-year apprenticeship, he spent one day each week at college while gaining hands-on experience in the workplace.

One of the biggest advantages of Leon's apprenticeship was the variety of skills he was able to learn. His training covered plumbing, carpentry, plastering, electrical work, painting and decorating, tiling, flooring, general maintenance, temporary repairs and customer service. This gave him a broad understanding of the construction industry and helped him discover which trade interested him most.

After completing his apprenticeship, Leon decided to specialise in carpentry. Since May 2026, he has been working as a Carpentry Improver, taking on work independently and continuing to build his knowledge and experience on site. Once he receives his formal qualification certificate, he will move into a role as a fully qualified carpenter.

During the conversation, Leon shares what attracted him to an apprenticeship, what he learned during his training, and how gaining experience across different trades helped him make decisions about his future career. He also offers valuable advice for anyone considering an apprenticeship and explains why practical, hands-on learning suited him.

If you're interested in construction, property maintenance, carpentry, or simply want to hear from someone who has recently completed an apprenticeship, this episode provides an honest insight into the opportunities available and the pathways that can follow.

Listen now to hear Leon's story and discover where an apprenticeship could take you.

Workwise Podcast Episode 2: Harvey Clemson-Day – From Employability Scheme to Property Maintenance Apprentice

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 22 juillet 2026 • Durée 12:32

If you have a question about an apprenticeship, click here

Welcome to the very first 'official' episode of the Workwise Apprenticeship Podcast.

In this episode, Darcy sits down with Harvey Clemson-Day to talk about his journey into apprenticeships, the opportunities that helped him get started, and what life is really like as a Property Maintenance Apprentice.

Harvey's story is a great example of how there isn't always one straight path into a career. Before beginning his apprenticeship, Harvey joined Mountjoy through the HTP Employability Scheme. The programme is designed to support young people aged 16 to 24 who are not currently in work, education or training, helping them gain valuable experience, confidence and skills while exploring future career options.

As part of the scheme, Harvey spent 36 weeks working within Mountjoy's PCC call handling team. During that time, he developed a strong understanding of customer service, communication and day-to-day business operations, becoming a valued member of the team and gaining experience that would help shape his future career choices.

After completing his placement, Harvey decided he wanted to pursue a career in the trades and took the next step by enrolling on a Level 2 Property Maintenance Apprenticeship. Since September 2025, he has been combining hands-on workplace experience with studies at City of Portsmouth College, developing the practical skills and knowledge needed to build a successful career in property maintenance.

During the conversation, Harvey talks openly about what attracted him to an apprenticeship, what he enjoys most about the role, the challenges he has faced along the way and the advice he would give to anyone considering a similar route.

One of the key themes throughout the episode is the value of learning while working. Harvey shares how gaining real-world experience alongside his studies has helped build both his confidence and his understanding of the industry.

Whether you're thinking about becoming an apprentice yourself, supporting a young person who is exploring their options, or simply interested in hearing first-hand experiences from people already on that journey, Harvey's story provides a genuine insight into the opportunities apprenticeships can offer.

WorkWise Apprenticeship Podcast Episode 1: Why WorkWise Was Created

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

Choosing your next step after school or college can feel like a daunting decision. Whether you're considering sixth form, university, an apprenticeship or heading straight into work, it isn't always easy to know which path is right for you.

That's exactly why the WorkWise Apprenticeship Podcast was created.

In this special introductory episode, we hear from the three organisations behind the project: Cheryl Buggy, Co-Founder and Chair of Express FM, Simon Ingram, Managing Director of Mountjoy, and David Lycett, Assistant Principal at City of Portsmouth College.

Together, they explain why they wanted to create a podcast that gives young people honest, practical advice from those already building successful careers through apprenticeships and vocational training.

WorkWise is a partnership between Express FM, Mountjoy and City of Portsmouth College, designed to help young people better understand the wide range of career opportunities available across Portsmouth and beyond. Throughout the series, students from City of Portsmouth College interview apprentices, employers and industry professionals, uncovering real stories about career journeys, workplace experiences and the skills employers are looking for.

Unlike many careers resources, the conversations are genuine and unscripted. The students asking the questions aren't professional broadcasters, and the apprentices sharing their experiences aren't media-trained. They're simply having honest conversations with the aim of helping the next generation make informed decisions about their future.

In this opening episode, Simon Ingram explains why Mountjoy is passionate about supporting apprenticeships and why learning through practical experience can be just as valuable as more traditional academic routes. He also discusses the importance of challenging outdated perceptions surrounding apprenticeships and encouraging more young people to consider vocational careers.

David Lycett talks about the role City of Portsmouth College has played in the project, giving students the opportunity to develop valuable communication, interviewing and employability skills while helping inspire future students through authentic conversations with local apprentices and employers.
