Cable, Senior Marketing and Events Engineer for NICEIC, chatted to the apprentices about his time in the industry and about his route from trainee sparky to TV expert. He then hosted a Q&A session with first and second stage electrical apprentices, providing invaluable advice and anecdotes from a career that spans some 50 years in the industry. Cable also spent time with pre-apprenticeship students providing advice on how to get into the electrical industry and how to stay in it.
Senior Lecturer in Electrical at Reid Kerr, David Walker said: “It is always an honour and a privilege to have Tony at the College. It was especially nice this time as we are now in a state of the art, purpose built building and he was very impressed with the plethora of renewable technologies offsetting the building’s energy usage. Tony agreed that as a training environment for these new apprentices it was second to none. It was a great experience for the apprentices to meet someone with such vast knowledge and experience in our industry and they thoroughly enjoyed the visit.”
