The final event of the TGI College/TGI Apprenticeships year was held in early July when apprentices came together to make to the completion of their course. Sponsored by Guernsey Electricity, the evening was a celebration of the hard work, tenacity and achievement of our apprentices who were presented with their certificates by Lord Digby Jones.
