CCG (Scotland) has welcomed ten new trade apprentices to its workforce, taking the total number of apprentices employed across CCG’s group of companies to 48.
All the new recruits are aged 17 or 18 and will undertake a four-year programme to become qualified plumbers, joiners, electricians, and heating engineers.
During their apprenticeship, the recruits will experience a mix of practical, on-site learning and lecture-based theory.
CCG MD David Wylie said, “I am delighted to welcome our ten new recruits to the CCG family. Over the next four years, they will acquire invaluable skills that will serve them throughout their careers thanks to hands-on experience on some of the country’s most innovative and pioneering construction projects.
“Despite the significant pressures in the affordable housing market, our commitment to training young people remains. Our focus on skills development must go hand in hand with support for the Affordable Sector in order to secure employment for future generations.”
In addition to the 48 apprentices, 10 trainees are also in full-time employment in specialisms including quantity surveying, estimating, and business administration. CCG has also provided 60 work placements since January with more planned for the rest of the year thanks to initiatives with employment body Developing Young Workforce, and various charities.
