Dean Wain
Derby College helps apprentice Dean change career direction
Former apprentice plumber Dean Wain has his sights set on a career in architectural technology after Derby College lecturers helped him change career direction.
Dean, now aged 25, had seen architects on site and decided he would explore going down that professional route by seeking expert advice.
Lecturers helped him to get on a Professional Construction and the Built Environment course, and later they encouraged him to apply when city-based architect Morrison Design was looking for apprentices.
Dean landed an architectural technician trainee job, an apprentice role, and he transferred to Derby College’s Professional Construction and the Built Environment Level 3 Extended Diploma.
He completed his course with Distinction*s and is now an architectural technician with Morrison, while studying part-time at the University of Derby for a degree in Architectural Technology and Practice.
Derby College was a great starting point for me.
I loved my apprenticeship. I just looked forward to coming to work. I’d recommend anybody who gets the chance to become an apprentice to take it. In the future I see my career as an architectural technologist.
