A thriving business location at the heart of a revitalised and vibrant premier European city
Balfour Beatty apprenticeships launched in Liverpool
Young people all over Merseyside are set to benefit from training and job opportunities thanks to a new apprenticeship scheme launched by Balfour Beatty.
Balfour Beatty Apprenticeships, will be delivered by the Plaza-based company, in partnership with the North West Apprenticeship Company and will provide opportunities for young people to take up apprenticeships in a range of areas including construction trades, ICT and facilities management.
The first of the two apprentices to join the scheme were formally signed up at the event. Stephen Gilchrist (17) of Kirkby will be undertaking a general construction operations apprenticeship and Ben Howarth (16) of Hunts Cross will be trained in bricklaying.
Chris Whitehead of Balfour Beatty Construction said: “In the current climate employers may be reluctant to take on more staff and may not have the resources to implement full scale apprenticeships internally.
“We have worked closely with our supply network to create a scheme which takes the risk away from local companies. We are looking for motivated, hard working young people who are committed to a better future. Today we have seen evidence that there is no shortage of talent in Merseyside and we are looking forward to watching the progress of all our apprentices.”
Cllr Ronnie Round, leader of Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, said: “Through this innovative and far reaching programme Balfour Beatty will transform the futures of a great many young people.”
Anyone over 16 who is interested in applying or would like further information should contact Roxana at Balfour Beatty Apprenticeships on 07540 920 280 or via email info@balfourbeattyapprenticeships.com
