Considering a career in construction? Meet former SWC student Julian Brock. Now with GRAHAM for 10 years, Julian credits South West College with providing the foundation for his successful career in civil engineering. He began his studies at the Enniskillen campus before progressing to a Foundation Degree in Civil Engineering at the Omagh campus.
During his studies, Julian also took part in a fully funded Institution of Civil Engineers trip to China, which he described as a “fantastic learning experience”. Today, he works across a range of major projects and says no two days are ever the same.
His advice to anyone considering a career in construction is simple:
“Take the leap. Attend South West College and try to get as much work experience as possible outside of class. The experience you gain is invaluable.”
From Level 3 qualifications, equivalent to three A Levels, through Higher Level Apprenticeships and degree-level study, SWC provides a clear local pathway into a rewarding career in construction and civil engineering.
Build your future. Study local.
