Levi is from Newcastle Emlyn and previously attended Primary and High School in Cardigan. Levi successfully completed his Level 2 Outdoor Programmes apprenticeship and is now working towards his Level 3 Outdoor Programmes qualification at the Urdd’s Centre in Llangrannog. His assessor Carys nominated Levi and said "From the very beginning, Levi has kept up with his work plan and completed every task that's been set. He attends all meetings promptly and prepares thoroughly for each workshop and discussion. He completes an additional Essential Skills qualification and combines his work with the 2 qualifications very effectively. He has developed his group leadership skills at the Urdd Centre and enjoys his work very much. The main reason I'd like to nominate Levi is that he's a 'good' person. He is always ready to help others in the workplace and I’ve seen his confidence grow from one week to the next.”
His line managerLlŷr added, "Congratulations Levi! Apprentice of the Month - you absolutely deserve it! It's clear that you've been putting all your energy into everything, and everyone has noticed. It’s great to see your hard work get the credit it deserves. Keep going!"
