Special thanks to third-year plumbing apprentice Shaylah from SPD Group for her perspective as an apprentice, Jesse from C.D. Projects for his employer insights, and school-based apprentice Riley for his contributions.

Special thanks also to Jubilee Bowls Club for hosting us at their venue and providing a delicious catered lunch after the tour!
