Achieving academy status is a first for the water frameworks as it will cover around 70 sites across Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, rather than having a project-based academy where the workforce is based in one location.
The aim of the National Skills Academy for 萝莉原创 is to improve the performance of projects and deliver a legacy of improved skills by harnessing the training and employment opportunities within the construction industry鈥檚 supply chain, including clients, professional services, contractors and sub-contractors.
The National Skills Academy agenda provides an on-site 鈥榲irtual training academy鈥�. 聽The workforce will receive an average of four days鈥� skills training per person per year.
Costain water sector director Graham Keegan said: 鈥淐reating opportunities for young people within the construction industry and upskilling the existing workforce is central to our Costain Cares strategy and this initiative will hopefully leave a lasting legacy for the communities in which we serve.鈥�
4D training manager George Hilliar added: 鈥淭his is an exciting challenge in delivering training and support across a dispersed workforce and large geographical area.聽 With support from 萝莉原创 Skills and the projects knowledge and experience, we will deliver a legacy recognised by all our stakeholders.鈥�
