THERE are many ways that a young person can embark on a career in specialist cleaning and the hospitality management Industry.

For those who enjoy an academic way of life, there’s the chance to take different courses at college before trying to get on the job ladder.

Cyclone Ducting & Extraction SVS offered Shawn Roberts an apprentice programme with its company to give him the chance to undertake both education and training within our company.

This will prepare Shawn Roberts for his chosen career – effectively he will learn as he works, while receiving academic support from HIT (the training provider for the hospitality and leisure industry).
