have eleven trainees enrolled with InfraTrain.
These trainees are working towards National Certificates in
areas ranging from Civil Plant Operation to Forestry Earthworks and Road Opening Trenching.
Taylors Contracting CEO Charlie Taylor
says training has huge benefits for companies like theirs, who pride themselves on having a skilled, safe and happy
workforce. He explains, “It’s really
important to see our people succeed, which is why we invest heavily
in training and make sure people are supported to achieve their
goals. We
see training as adding to people’s life skills with valuable
learning in areas such as time management and organisation skills,
which are essential in and out of work.”
Taylor
says a lot of smaller businesses are put off training because they
are fearful of losing skilled workers after investing a lot of time
and money. “What they
don’t recognise is that they may lose one person but gain another.
Every person you train and upskill is another in the pot for
the industry as a whole.
If we all did our bit then we’d have a good-sized pool of skilled
people.”
