FIS is working with The Skills Centre to deliver a series of L2 drylining course flyer and dates that will help bring new talent into the finishes and interiors sector. To make these programmes truly impactful, we are asking employers to play an active role in supporting learners as they prepare for work.
The Skills Centre will be running an Introduction to Drylining course across its training facilities, giving participants the core skills, industry awareness, and confidence needed to begin a career in our sector. Employer support in the Essex area is essential to bridge the gap between training and employment.
We are calling on members to help strengthen these programmes by offering:
- Work experience placements that give learners real insight into site environments
- Employment opportunities for job-ready candidates
- Apprenticeships that allow new entrants to continue their development while contributing to your business
Your involvement will directly support The Skills Centre in delivering successful pre-employment pathways—ensuring learners can transition smoothly into the workforce and helping address the ongoing skills shortage in our sector.
By taking part, you will not only provide invaluable on-site experience for new entrants and career changers but also help build the future skilled workforce that our industry depends on.
If you are interested in supporting these learners, contact Marie Flinter or Beena Nana or call the FIS office on 0121 707 0077.
