Scientific Technologies FA Placement at Leiths Ltd.
Feedback from Wieslawa our FA Tutor – “I wanted to take a moment to share how well our FA SciTech pupils are performing during their placements. Today, I had the pleasure of observing Henry from Portlethen Academy, and I must say, he truly shone. Not only was he exceptionally well-prepared, but he also spoke with great confidence and professionalism. As a result of his impressive performance, Henry has been offered a summer placement and has also received a voucher for M&S as well as a certificate of workplace compliance from Leiths. In addition, Leiths wrote a wonderful article about our apprentices, and they’ve kindly offered us the opportunity to share Henry’s experience with their company. It’s a joy to see our pupils excelling, and we’re incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication!”
