NCS David Cameron Visit
Staff and students at New Career Skills were delighted to welcome David Cameron MP to their training centre in Chandlers Ford.
Mr Cameron was shown the state of the art electrical, plumbing and green energy training bays, as well as having the opportunity to meet current NCS students
He was then able to speak with six recent graduates from New Career Skills who had gone on to found their own businesses as plumbers, electricians, renewable energy professionals and property marketers. He heard about their success stories and even posed in front of their company vans with them!
Steven Wines, Chief Executive of New Career Skills, commented, "It is great that our students got to share their success stories with David Cameron, something of which they are justifiably very proud. Mr Cameron even joked to me that if things did not work out for him in the election he'd consider training with us."
