Come and see us on 30 April at Build East Stratford
FIS has partnered with The Skills Centre to deliver Skills Bootcamps to address the growing skills shortage in the finishes and interiors sector.
To support this, we would like to invite you to your local Bootcamp which is taking place on 30 April at Build East, Stratford to see first-hand the candidates who are currently undertaking training in Internal / External Insulation and Drylining.
As part of the bootcamp, we are looking for employers who can offer interviews, two-week work placements and/or employment opportunities for these candidates.
Funded by the Department for Education, these bootcamps provide a pathway for those looking to enter construction or upskill into a more specialist role. But without the support of employers these individuals may never enter construction.
By coming along, you can meet the individuals and see the training in action. The Internal / External Insulation and Dry Lining Bootcamps have a duration of 8 weeks, which include 2 weeks work experience, an outline of what is included as part of a bootcamp is listed below:
Training and Qualifications*:
- Cskills Level 1 Health & Safety
- CITB CSCS Health & Safety Environment (Green Card)
- Level 2 Understanding Domestic Retrofit
- Level 2 Removing Non-Hazardous Waste in the Workplace (Blue Card)
- Environmental awareness in the construction industry
- Introduction to Interior Systems
- Introduction to Passive Fire
*Actual qualifications delivered may vary based on employer demand at the time of delivery.
