Apprentice Spotlight: Hubert Makes a Strong Start in Groundworks

Hubert began his apprenticeship journey at Accxel Training School in September 2025, enrolling as an apprentice groundworker with a clear eagerness to learn and develop his skills. Since joining Smiths, Hubert has shown a positive attitude and strong commitment to both his training and on-site responsibilities.

Following his recent end-of-term assessment, Hubert’s progress has been highlighted as very encouraging. His enthusiasm is evident in his proactive approach to learning, often observing experienced groundworkers to expand his knowledge and practical understanding.

Developing Skills and Knowledge

Hubert has made a strong start in learning the core elements of groundworks. He is developing key practical skills including site preparation, slabbing, curbing, setting out, and the safe handling of materials. He has already successfully completed tasks such as basic slabbing and preparing foundations to a good standard, demonstrating growing confidence and competence on site.

With continued engagement and enthusiasm, Hubert is well placed to build on his early success and further develop his skills as he progresses through his apprenticeship.

Congratulations to Hubert, and thank you to AccXel for delivering the classroom-based training that underpins his development and enables him to apply his learning on our sites.
