BEST has a long established working relationship with leading building services provider, Shepherd Engineering Services (SES). Together they have formed a Centre of Excellence for SES’ apprentices at Leeds College of Building.
Working in partnership with Leeds College of Building, a bespoke course for SES’ apprentices from all over the country has been developed and is carried out at the college. This initiative is one of the first of its kind and is proving a huge success, with excellent results for all parties involved.
Seven of the industry’s largest contractors remain in consultation with their combined workforce of around 6,000 operatives about the Building Engineering Services National Agreement (BESNA).
Businesses will be given the power to design, develop and purchase the vocational training programme they need under a £250 million plan announced today by the Prime Minister. The move is designed to boost economic growth and ensure that the UK workforce has the skills that businesses require.
