Well... that's it! 🎬

After years of being the slightly bossy manager (my team will definitely say very bossy 😂), today is my last day in a role I've absolutely loved.

To every learner – thank you. Every single one of you has mattered. Whether you were with us for five days or a full programme, you've all been part of the journey. Watching people grow in confidence, gain skills and move into employment has been the biggest privilege.

To our suppliers, employers and supporters – thank you for believing in what we do and helping us create opportunities that change lives.

And to the incredible team... what can I say? You are simply the best. You care about every learner as if they've paid a million pounds to be there, when in reality many simply needed someone to believe in them. Your patience, kindness, hard work and absolute dedication never go unnoticed. You really do change lives every single day.

If anyone is looking to train in construction or motor vehicle... honestly, this is the place. The facilities are fantastic, but it's the people that make it special.

So, from one very grateful (and occasionally bossy! 😆) manager...

Over and out. 🎤

My job here is done. ❤️

What can we say not enough that's for sure!!!

🧱 A huge thank you to UK Bricks - Let's Build for their generous brick donation to Chameleon School of Construction.

We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from industry partners. Donations like these allow our learners to gain hands-on experience working with a wider range of construction materials, helping them develop practical skills and a better understanding of the products they will encounter in the workplace.

The donation also provides valuable opportunities to discuss sustainability, manufacturing processes, and the environmental impact of materials used within the construction industry.

By supporting our learners today, you are helping to build the skilled workforce of tomorrow.

Thank you for investing in our learners and their futures. We truly appreciate your support.

🏗️ Specialist Tyrolean Training 🏗️

It was great to welcome Nottingham City Council apprentices to Chameleon School of Construction for specialist Tyrolean finish training.

The session provided learners with the opportunity to develop practical skills, gain experience using industry techniques, and build their understanding of traditional external wall finishes in a safe training environment.

We are proud to support the development of construction skills and would like to thank Nottingham City Council for choosing us to help further their apprentices’ training.
