Our first training centre was originally acquired as an onboarding centre in 2019, used by dual fuel technicians for inductions and refresher training - developed to ensure high quality candidates for our clients.
COVID-19 ensured a cease in onboarding activity, leaving us a large, empty building in desperate need of a purpose. It was clear to see that there was (and still is!) a huge skills shortage in the talent pool. It was the perfect time to expand our offer.
With vast experience in recruitment, we understand the client’s needs for relevant skills and qualifications. We also recognise that candidates need to access these skills and qualifications, which can prove daunting and expensive.
We made the decision to utilise this time of reduced activity, removing all the trainers from furlough and producing a scalable training centre serving core gas, electric and plumbing qualifications.
Find out how Kevin McCall played his part preparing the new training centre ready for the post-lockdown environment.
With the foundations firmly in place we were able to develop our offerings and upskill opportunities to focus on renewable and low carbon heating.
