AWARDED A QUEST TECHNICIAN SCHOLARSHIP BY THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Construction and Built Environment student Jamie Ashman is an Apprentice with Laing O’Rourke. With support from his college tutor and his employer, Jamie successfully applied for a ‘Quest’ scholarship and now receives a £1500 bursary to help him develop his career. “As well as sorting out my Level 4 education, this scholarship will help me fulfil a professional ambition to visit the Oresund Bridge in Sweden. The bridge is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe and is an inspiring example of transport engineering.” As an apprentice, Jamie is at the beginning of his career but he is already working on exciting projects including ticket halls and tunnelling on the Crossrail project. JAMIE ASHMAN “What we learn in the classroom helps with work and I have been given big responsibilities such as setting out, which means translating what is shown on plans onto the actual site and using the latest construction technology.” Tutor Tom Jones said: “The ICE scholarship is a great achievement for Jamie as only four such awards are made in the southeast region every year. We are very proud of him and look forward to seeing him succeed in his career and education.” Jamie becomes the seventh CNWL student to be awarded an ICE scholarship over the past few years. 09
