SEDDON GROUP LEADS PIONEERING NATIONAL DIPLOMA INTO BOLTON
With his vast experience in construction, the
Seddon Group’s training manager, Roy Cavanagh, has been asked by
Bolton Community College to chair a meeting on the new,
Government-backed 14-19 diplomas that is set to significantly
improve training practices.
Leading the national diploma on Construction and the Built
Environment, Roy has been instrumental in its creation and imminent
delivery and will play a vital role in instigating its nationwide
acceptance by the industry.
February’s meeting, to be held at 10.30am on the 18th at the Seddon
Group offices in Bolton, will be a chance for business leaders to
get an industries’ perspective on the diploma from Roy, and see
first-hand how it will benefit the students, and companies, who
embrace it.
Roy explains: “As a committed trainer to the industry, I appreciate
the importance of highly skilled and competent staff. However, as is
often highlighted, there is a major skills shortage affecting the
industry, due in part, to the limited number of quality
apprenticeship programmes available. Indeed, recent statistics from
Construction Skills show that, of the 50,000 applications for
apprenticeships, only 7,000 receive a place.
“This is an issue that needs to be changed and the diploma is a
significant step towards achieving this. This meeting will be a
great way to introduce the construction diploma, as well as others,
to the businesses and colleges of Bolton and demonstrate the
benefits of them, both to our youngsters, and the industries in
which they will build a career.”
Construction and the Built Environment is just one of a number of
diplomas set to begin this year, including Engineering and Society
and Health and Development. Supported by the Government, the
diplomas mark the start of an intensive new approach to training in
a wide variety of industries. It is hoped they will assist the
skills shortages and standardise the level of aptitude across those
industries.
And as a leading and highly-respected industry professional, Roy is
often asked to get involved with projects that aim to improve
training in construction.
Rod Sellers, Seddon Group chairman, comments: “Our commitment to
training for the industry has seen Roy seconded for three days a
month to the 14-19 diploma scheme, to ensure it is embraced by
businesses that can offer quality and structured training to our
younger generations.
“Roy’s involvement is testament to his dedication to the industry
and the issue of training. We are all delighted to be playing such a
key role in the scheme and are sure the contribution it will make to
the industry will be significant.”
For over 50 years Seddon has been investing in training and remains
committed to offering the highest level of apprenticeship programme
possible. Roy’s role includes promoting the industry as a career of
choice, to both men and women, and with over 500 letters received
each year from young people wanting the opportunity to start an
apprenticeship with Seddon, it is clear Roy has established an
unrivalled reputation for the company in this area.
With its annual £4million invested into training, Seddon continues
to be passionate advocates of training and strives to find and
nurture young talent to ensure the industry standards remain high
and consistent.
