FIS was proud to attend the official opening of The Skills Centre Essex in Horndon Industrial Estate, Brentwood, on Friday 10 October, a significant milestone in strengthening skills development across the construction sector.
The new Essex facility marks the 10th Skills Centre in the UK and will deliver high-quality, employer-led construction training, including Level 1 pre-employment programmes designed to equip local people with the practical skills needed to start a career in the industry.
Representing FIS at the opening, Chief Executive Iain McIlwee joined Measom Dryline and Councillor Louise McKinlay to celebrate the launch and show support for initiatives that help attract new entrants and raise competence across the finishes and interiors sector.
FIS continues to work closely with training providers and employers to ensure that skills programmes reflect the real needs of the sector and help build a sustainable pipeline of talent for the future.
