Proud Dad Moment: My Sons Found Success Through Sunbelt Rentals Apprenticeships! As a parent, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing your children thrive. Today, I want to share a little story about both my sons, Jamie and Ethan, and their incredible journeys through Sunbelt Rentals apprenticeships. I've always been a firm believer in alternative pathways to success, and apprenticeships seemed like a perfect fit for both boys. They were hands on learners  who craved practical experience rather than traditional academic routes, although I did wrongly try to push one towards an academic experience. Jamie Spencer's Story: He landed an apprenticeship in Electrical/mechanical; and quickly impressed everyone with his work ethic and aptitude. His mentor became a valuable guide, offering real-world knowledge and support that textbooks couldn't. Today, he's a currently in his 3rd year and a rising star in his field. Jamie manages to fit his work in while being extremely dedicated to his football team, he plays football at a high level and he has spent his youth in and out of Premier league academy's which has led to a real team ethic in everything he does. Ethan Spencer's Story: Ethan has been with us since September, choosing an apprenticeship in Electrical/mechanical. Like his brother, he is thriving in the practical and educational environment, gaining valuable skills and confidence. He manages to put 100 percent into his apprenticeship while training full time as an England international gymnast, last year he competed in Belgium and Portugal whilst fitting in all his work and educational demands. Their success stories are a testament to the power of apprenticeships: Hands-on learning: Apprentices gain practical skills and experience directly applicable to their chosen field. Mentorship: Experienced professionals provide guidance and support, boosting confidence and helping them navigate challenges. Reduced financial burden: Compared to traditional university paths, apprenticeships offer reduced costs  and the ability to earn while you learn. Faster career path: Apprentices can enter the workforce earlier with valuable skills and experience, giving them a competitive edge. I'm incredibly proud of my sons and the paths they've chosen. If you're considering apprenticeships for yourself or your children, I urge you to explore further! #apprenticeship #careerdevelopment #skillsgap #prouddad #successstory #sunbeltrentals

Corey Stearns, Vice President of Green Mountain Pipeline Services, Inc., had this to say about Karvon: "Karvon is a valued employee to Green Mountain Pipe. Regardless of the distance sometimes needed to travel, Karvon is never late, has an outstanding work ethic, and is a total team player for our company. Karvon is the type of apprentice we strive for." Why does this matter to us? Because it represents the heart of what we do—transforming lives, businesses, and communities.

If you want proof of the power of Scotland's apprenticeship schemes, look no further than International Beverage. Not only do we currently have 8 of our team members in apprentice roles, but our skilled team is also home to a handful of former apprentices who are rising through the ranks and making their mark in our business. Process Operator Alastair Peock, Warehouse Operator Jamie Hamilton, and Assistant Production Manager Declan McDonagh are three great examples of individuals who seized the apprentice opportunity and have developed their careers with International Beverage. As we celebrate Scottish Apprenticeships this week, it's a reminder that apprenticeships are one of the best ways to build the brilliant next generation that our industry needs. #InternationalBeverage #apprenticeships #scotappweek24 #whisky
