Upskilling Apprenticeship Programme Hits The Mark
Edmundson Electrical recently introduced a range of new apprenticeship standard qualifications, using its own apprenticeship levy fund, to provide further skills training and development opportunities for its people and the initiative has already delivered great results. The Company currently has over 150 employees enrolled on one of several apprenticeship courses covering a variety of job roles.
On average, an apprenticeship takes 18 months to complete and so far this year 22 Edmundson colleagues have successfully completed their studies to a very high standard and, in so doing, have not only gained a professionally recognised qualification they can be proud of, but also new skills and capabilities to enhance their future careers and help the Company go from strength to strength.
Congratulations and well done to you all!
