Success for Trainees at Wellesley

Success for trainees

To date Churchills have offered employment to six trainees  on the Wellesley development. One such trainee is 18 year old Daniel White, who didn’t have any work experience prior to joining the CSF scheme. Daniel undertook his CSCS card preparation and test, secured a Health and Safety level one and Banksman certificates, and has been working as a Scaffolding Labourer on the Wellesley site with Churchill Contractors since early August. He is enjoying the work and hopes to achieve further qualifications in scaffolding with the support of Churchills.

Helping address the skills shortage

George Hewitt, Director at Churchill Contractors, said:

“For years and years we have struggled as a business to fill the skills gap onsite and I now believe we have a reliable source of good, hard working and, most importantly, committed young men/women.

The construction industry has always lacked a connection between the training providers and the larger contractors, I think we may have found a solution that works with our business. I am thoroughly looking forward to building on this relationship and helping these young people get into full time employment.”
