EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING

At Turney Wylde Construction we are committed to the training and development of our staff.  We regularly conduct internal and external training courses at all levels and believe in the continual improvement of our staff and their knowledge.  We have a strong commitment to youth training and utilise the company training plan for the retention and development of staff and to identify gaps in the future.  Our workforce includes a number of staff who have served the Company for many years. 

As a successful company we believe we have a responsibility to:

• Maintain the long term stability and employment prospects of our current workforce.
• To offer opportunities to new employees with previous experience in the industry.
• To offer training and employment opportunities to new entrants to the industry
• To minimise social exclusion in our areas of operation.

In achieving the above our policy is to engage local labour wherever possible using a mixture of local job centres and recruitment agencies.

We are mindful of the need to encourage new entrants to the industry and actively encourage and support the education and training of young people in order that they can be fully equipped to work successfully in the building and construction industries.  We promote the fostering of relationships with local schools to offer work experience placements to years 10 and 11 pupils.

We will undertake to offer apprenticeships in conjunction with the Construction Industry Training Board or other similarly regulated bodies.  We currently have 6 apprentices and 1 adult up-skilling trainee and a further education trainee.  All of our apprentices carryout ‘on the job’ training alongside an experienced and suitably trained member of staff.

Training and Development is a key part of our company to reinforce our reputation and continued success.
