CLARK Contracts has announced it has welcomed 21 new trainees to its academy during the course of 2024, in a range of site and office-based roles.
Since forming the academy in 2006, the Paisley-based contractor has supported over 350 trainees and apprentices into the industry.
The new recruits include trade apprentices, office-based apprentices, trainee quantity surveyors and trainee site managers. They join 30 existing academy members, each at different stages of their development.
They will each be supported by a dedicated mentor and are completing their studies through various Modern Apprenticeship, Graduate Apprenticeship, HNC and Honours Degree pathways. Training will involve a combination of on-the-job training, whilst completing formal qualifications through attendance at colleges and universities.
Clark Contracts launched its trainee recruitment with annual careers evening events, held in Paisley and Edinburgh in March, which many of these new employees attended.
MD Gordon Cunningham said, “We are delighted to welcome another 21 employees into our academy this year, which re-enforces our commitment to supporting the next generation into the industry. Since launching our academy, many of the apprentices and trainees we have supported, have now progressed into senior positions within the business. We look forward to seeing these new team members progress and develop their careers.”
