Plumbing Career Help - To Find A Job Or Become Self-Employed

It is important to remember that the ultimate aim of the Plumbing Course Career Track Programme is to ensure that you get a job as a plumber, either employed or self-employed.

To help you do that we have a specialist division called NCS Career Search.

NCS Career Search will help you get a job in the plumbing industry or start your own business and, once you are working, it can help you to succeed.

NCS Career Search has a dedicated team in centre, a web site www.ncscareersearch.co.uk, and also an exclusive community, MyNCS, to serve you better.

Help you will receive from NCS Career Search
During your course you will be contacted by your Career Search advisor and right from the start you will be offered advice on preparing your CV, interview technique and creating a business plan (including sales, marketing, finance, staffing issues and legislation).

Work experience – NCS Access
As you progress through your course, subject to availability and on recommendation by your tutor, you may be eligible for the NCS Access programme. This is an opportunity for you undertake work experience with an NCS graduate who is already running a business in your area, and provides a real world environment for you to test out the skills and knowledge you have learnt in your practical sessions. Because we have trained thousands of trade professionals we are in a position to offer this exclusive service to our students.

Career Manuals
Towards the end of your course you will receive manuals on working as a plumber or setting up your own plumbing business. These manuals contain plans and techniques for starting and growing your business and some invaluable tricks of the trade. You will also be introduced to a range of other opportunities to further your skills, with free workshops on pricing and estimating, renewable technologies and many other courses which may be of use to you.

The NCS Career Search web site also gives you access to a range of products and services at exclusive discounts which will be helpful to you in your new career – services like web design, financial and legal advice, low cost van hire, insurance discounts, and money off tools and workwear.

NCS Community - MyNCS
Throughout your course and beyond you will be able to access the NCS community, called MyNCS. Through this community you can keep in touch with the other students you meet while training, and stay in contact even after you graduate, so you can share jobs with them. New Career Skills trains people as electricians, plumbers and in renewable technologies (like solar and heat pumps), so there are plenty of jobs which can be shared amongst the community.

Early on if you have a large job you may wish to share it with a more experienced NCS graduate, who can give you a few pointers as you start out. Job opportunities are also posted on the community and there is a library of materials you can download for free and use in your business, including quote sheets, sample contracts, customer satisfaction forms, marketing materials and financial planning templates.

NCS Career Search is an important part of your career change programme. Its services are only possible because we have been delivering trades training for so many years and can draw upon the experience of people who have successfully completed our programme and are now running new businesses. It is a unique and vital ingredient in your success. Visit the web site www.ncscareersearch.co.uk to find out more.

What Would A 50 Year Young Lady Do For A New Career?

Meet Lorraine Dotchin ... 50 years old from Manchester. After spending most of her working life in IT, Lorraine decided that she needed a change ... a new lease of life. But what and how?

For many years she had a very good job as a senior network engineer, but she had grown frustrated with it. She was fed up ... had no satisfaction ... lacked a challenge ... was stuck in an office and got blamed for others mistakes. Enough was enough.

She decided that she wanted to have her own business. But unlike most women she didn’t choose to set up a hairdresser or a florist or a cafe ... no ... she had her mind set on plumbing. She enjoyed DIY and had a fascination with the plumbing and heating side of it.

After methodically researching her training options she decided that New Career Skills was by far the best option for her. She was able to study around her work and life commitments - she found the training to be exceptional and it didn’t take her long to finish the course and get qualified.

Whilst training Lorraine used New Career Skills specialist recruitment and business start up division ... called NCS Career Search. They made sure she had everything she needed to make a huge success of her business. She wasted no time and went straight into business for herself.

Following the advice of NCS Career Search she launched her first marketing campaign. Before it went live she said to her husband that she hoped the phone would ring and that they didn’t waste their money on it. A week later she told her husband that she wanted to pause the marketing as she had more business than she could handle.

Now Lorraine is working towards her gas certifications and looking to expand her business.

“There is just plenty of work! It’s fantastic – day by day it’s incredibly good, enjoyable, hugely frustrating sometimes, but marvellous! I simply cannot understand why I vacillated about becoming a plumber for so long. I should have done it years ago!”
