FEEDBACK FROM<br />
BUSINESSES<br />
“The reason why the<br />
apprenticeship scheme<br />
is so successful at UKAR<br />
is because of the great<br />
partnership with <strong>Shipley</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. It’s a full team<br />
effort.”<br />
Lynda Daniel, Recruitment Co-ordinator<br />
with UKAR and now an Apprentice<br />
Ambassador for the Yorkshire<br />
and Humber area for the National<br />
Apprenticeship Scheme.<br />
“Your support and the<br />
candidates we have<br />
recruited in the Trust<br />
have played a very<br />
important role in the<br />
Trust’s recruitment plan.”<br />

“After meeting with 4<br />
providers we have decided<br />
to go with <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
as we felt that you had<br />
distinct advantages above<br />
the others... with a vast<br />
amount of experience to<br />
be able to support us in<br />
his new venture!”<br />

PROVIDING<br />
EMPLOYMENT<br />
THROUGH<br />
SECTOR-BASED<br />
WORK ACADEMY IN<br />
HORTICULTURE AT<br />
INCOMMUNITIES<br />
SHIPLEY COLLEGE HAS STRONG WORKING<br />
RELATIONSHIPS WITH MANY LOCAL EMPLOYERS,<br />
WHICH REGULARLY LEADS TO STUDENTS<br />
FINDING WORK.<br />
The recent Sector-Based Work Academy in Horticulture<br />
which was run in conjunction with Incommunities Housing<br />
Association is a great example of this. There were<br />
24 adult learners who attended an intensive 4-week<br />
course in Horticulture, and were supported to further<br />
develop their employability skills.<br />
The employers were so pleased with the results that they asked<br />
for more people than originally planned. Of the 23 people who<br />
went forward for interview, a total of <strong>17</strong> were accepted for<br />
full-<strong>time</strong> work with the Incommunities Grounds Maintenance Team.<br />
One of the learners says, ‘Just wanted to say thank you for the<br />
effort you put in to organising the course, please pass on my<br />
gratitude to the tutors. Courses like this are very useful and I can<br />
see clear benefits for everyone involved. I hope you continue to<br />
offer such programmes in future. Thanks again.’<br />
Feedback from the employer’s perspective, Dean Blomfield,<br />
Assistant Grounds Maintenance Manager says, ‘This arrangement<br />
with <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a much better system than the recruitment<br />
methods we’ve used in the past. Job applicants have an<br />
opportunity to show us what they can do during the course,<br />
before they even reach the interview stage. I have to say that<br />
having people ready to start work who are already well-trained<br />
and aware of how to work safely is invaluable to us as an<br />
employer.’<br />
