Apprentice Update

Overview

All our current Apprentices that have been at Gloucester College or Train4All this year have now completed their Diploma and will now be working on their NVQ, with a view to completing their qualification early in 2018.

Our apprentice scheme will by then have developed around 25 fully qualified ‘home grown’ Groundworkers, most of them drivers and in possession of or working towards dumper tickets.

Support

The most pleasing aspect of the scheme to date is the mentoring and support given to our apprentices by Tithegrove Site Supervisors. Well supported by Kim and the People team, the success to date has been through our Supervisors commitment and hard work with the apprentices.

Next Phase

We are currently recruiting for our next cohort of Groundworks Apprentices. There are 14 vacancies in the Swindon area and 6 for Taunton/Bridgwater area.

The next cohort will start college in September/October.
