Apprentices prove bright sparks
ELECTRICAL contractor Clarkson Evans held a graduation-style awards evening on Friday to celebrate the achievements of staff who've recently achieved Advanced Apprenticeships in Electrical Installation.
Some 44 young people were presented with certificates by former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, in front of their proud families at Hatherley Manor Hotel.
The Staverton-based company specialises in wiring new homes and this year it has recruited over 100 new apprentices.
All of them follow a unique in-house programme, attending day release classes at the company's own training centre.
Sunday and Monday evenings £12.00 per head for an all inclusive meal with Indian and Thai cuisine (normal price £14.50).
Bring this voucher to the restaurant complete with your name and email address on it.
Terms: Expires 31st July
Contact: 01452 223782
Valid until: Wednesday, July 31 2013
Managing director Steve Evans, a strong supporter of apprenticeships, said: "By investing in young people we're growing our next generation of team leaders.
"There's simply no way we could ever recruit enough fully qualified staff with the right skills to meet the needs of our customers so we took the decision many years ago that apprenticeships were the only way forward."
Last year Clarkson Evans won the National Apprenticeship Award for Best Medium Sized Employer and were also main sponsor for The Citizen and Gloucestershire Echo's first ever Apprenticeship Awards held earlier this year.
Clarkson Evans' training centre has long been virtually a business in its own right and the company now trains apprentices for around 30 other employers.
