Robert Arnold

Robert attends college one day a week and spends the rest gaining practical experience. Learning from experienced colleagues and tutors at Riseholme College has been a key part of his development.

“They’ve got so much knowledge, I’ve learned loads just by asking questions.”

Robert says the support from his college tutors, Craig and Simon, has helped him build confidence in new skills, including turf laying and understanding tools and training requirements.

He uses his study day to stay on top of coursework and one day aspires to work in tree surgery.

“If you want to earn and learn, this is ideal opportunity and a real chance at getting a job after.”
