Window of opportunity for apprentices

Anglian Building Products has taken on four new apprentices who will work in fenestration/window installation as part of its commitment to deliver apprenticeships on all long-term public-sector refurbishment projects.

As part of a work-based learning programme, Matt Banks, 17, Jason Redfearn, 17, Lewis Watts, 18, and Adam Farr, 23, will join teams of experienced installers on contracts at 2010 Rotherham Ltd, North Lincolnshire Homes, St Georges Community Housing (Basildon) and South Essex Homes.

Run in conjunction with West Suffolk College, the two-year apprenticeship programme provides each apprentice with the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they require to undertake the role whilst gaining vital training from experienced installers.

At the end of the course, each apprentice will receive a NVQ Level 2 in window installation having also learnt a range of key skills in communication, equality and diversity awareness, customer service and numeracy.
