National Tool and Engineering Institute trainee targets renewable energy and robotics career

Tarik Services, a level two trainee in renewable energy at the National Tool and Engineering Institute, says he entered the programme to pick up skills that can carry straight into the workplace. He said he wanted hands-on training that lines up with what employers are looking for, so he could become useful on the job from early.

Services said his decision was also shaped by his belief that renewable energy will play a major role in the years ahead. In his view, the field offers a way to help protect the environment, and he wants to be among the people working on those answers.

Alongside that training path, he said he has become interested in autonomous mobile robotics. He explained that modern technology appeals to him, especially the way robotic systems can support cleaner operations and more efficient solutions.

His immediate aim is to find work in the renewable energy sector while continuing to build his understanding of robotics. Services said he wants to keep learning, gain practical experience, and later move on to higher-level training or certification in both areas as his career develops. That approach, he said, would allow him to keep building across both fields rather than settling in only one.

He said bringing together renewable energy and robotics would put him in a position to contribute to newer technology within the sustainability industry. For Services, the programme is not only a route to employment, but the foundation for the wider technical growth he hopes to pursue.
