“Alyssa is a shining example of an apprentice who inspires us all.”

Alyssa Howard joined Mitie, one of the UK’s leading facilities management companies, in 2022 to begin her Property Maintenance Operative apprenticeship with GLP Training. From day one, she stood out, not only for her technical ability, but for her dedication, drive, and professionalism.

In August 2023, Alyssa completed her apprenticeship, but her story didn’t end there.

That same year, Alyssa was named Level 2 Apprentice of the Year at the prestigious Construction Apprenticeship Awards, a national recognition of her exceptional performance, hard work, and promise as a future leader in the sector. Her relentless dedication, unwavering commitment, and inherent talent culminated in this prestigious recognition.
