We Fix Now Respond to Plumbing Work Experience Opportunities
(PRWEB UK) 25 July 2013 -- According to HVP on July 18 in the article ‘Colleges Inspired by Test Drive Talent Success,’, the initiative Test Drive Talent that was set up by Summit Skills has seen colleges taking over the methods.
Summit Skills released in a statement that the scheme has seen approximately 146 businesses sign a Youth Pledge, which shows that they are committed to giving young people opportunities in the industry and helping them gain the skills they need to successfully find employment. Throughout the project, over 270 employers have given placements to students aged over 16 who are studying on courses related to the plumbing or engineering industries.
The initiative has seen companies involve students in their average day-to-day routine, ensuring that they learn whilst benefiting from experience and the opportunity to develop their skills.
To date, approximately 54 people have found employment because of the Test Drive Talent scheme, with the majority of others finding an apprenticeship.
Neil Collishaw, of SummitSkills, told HVP that:
"Students selected for these placements are the high achievers in their class and can bring new perspectives and the latest knowledge and skills to a business."
