Wm. Armstrong Group Ltd was awarded Apprentice Employer of the Year 2004 in March by the Learning and Skills Council Cumbria. The award identifies and recognises the company as a provider of opportunities for progression within an industry racked with driver shortages.
Jennifer Whyberd, Managing Director said: ‘The recruitment and training of the young people taken on board has been a real success and we are proud of both the apprentices and the training programme that has been developed. Our collaboration with our local training provider, System Group, is providing proper jobs and training for some of Cumbria’s young people.’
The Drivers Apprenticeship Scheme develops a range of skills: an apprentice can be driving a 44 tonne vehicle at 18 years of age.
