"Allens Garage in Tadley treated me like an adult. They made sure I understood everything and that I was working in a safe environment. They advised me on what courses to do. They made me feel like a mechanic."
Student Comment

"Having worked on many educational projects I have become acutely aware that schools and colleges are desperate for contact with people within industry to give their students an insight into 'what it is really like'. Wates has always been involved over the years in encouraging people into the industry at all levels - apprentices, trainees, graduates - and this is a level in which the Basingstoke region can actively participate."
Construction Manager, Wates

Skillstree is an important new initiative for Basingstoke and Deane and right now we need as many companies involved as possible - both large and small. To suit the size of your business we've created a choice of four ways in which you can participate - as the Platinum sponsor, or as a Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsor. We've kept costs down to a minimum. In fact sponsorship starts from just £1,000 per annum and opens the door for 20 young people to gain valuable experience of the world of work. Details of our current supporters will be coming soon!
