Castle Ceilings & Partitions’ commitment to the industry is reflected in its newly launched career traineeship initiative aimed at attracting new people to the industry which is being run in partnership with City & Guilds, GRETB and the CIF.
“We are offering a City & Guilds Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Interior Systems (Construction) – Partitioning, Ceiling Fixing and Dry Lining,” Pat says.
“We have identified and championed, in collaboration with City & Guilds and GRETB, this much-needed traineeship following the negative impact that the recession has had on our industry. We would hope that this initiative will attract people back into the trade and encourage others to invest in the training of other disciplines within the construction sector to populate a much-depleted and critical constituent of the industry.”
The traineeship is 43 weeks in duration, with a combination of on-job and off-job training that allows trainees to learn, develop and practice the skills required. On successful completion of the traineeship programmes, the trainees gain a City & Guilds qualification and employment in several different areas, including wall lining and boarding, ceiling fixing – plaster boarding and grid ceiling – and partitioning and detailing.
Castle Ceilings offers opportunities for employment and advancement to trainees that have shown the necessary initiative, ability and successful completion of the traineeship.
