At CBS, we understand just how important it is to encourage the next generation of talent to ensure the industry continues to grow and develop.
CBS Directors were keen to make a valuable contribution to the development of young people`s employability skills and their career aspirations.
With that in mind, we have partnered with Newlands Junior College in Glasgow to provide a work experience programme for an initial period of six weeks.
Our structured work placements are designed to encourage the personal and professional development of the students, providing a taste of a career in the construction industry.
Working alongside time served joiners, roofers, slaters and bricklayers; the students will be given the opportunity to gain skills specific to their preferred trade.
Risk management arrangements, a detailed programme and company induction are in place ready for the students` arrival.
We hope our well-structured programme will have a positive impact on the students, providing the right stepping stone from education into the world of work.
CBS Managing Director, Gavin Taylor commented, “I firmly believe in and stand behind our work experience programme and I am proud to be associated with it. I would encourage other businesses to consider the mutual benefits these programmes offer.”
