Training

With a large proportion of our workers out on potentially hazardous assignments SkyBlue offers more in terms of training and competency and a total commitment to safety and wellbeing on all of our sites, including rail, construction and highways.

Aspiring to set training standards across the recruitment industry, we take a progressive and innovative approach and as a result of introducing a new training programme, have cut rail manual handling related injuries by almost half.

As a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and possessing Investors in People status, we lead the way in the growth & development of temporary and permanent staff, leading to enhanced labour performance for all our clients.

SkyBlue allocate a carefully considered budget to ensure our workers are well trained and that their development is on-going, with the needs of the industry as a key driver.

A dedicated IT system continuously monitors and assesses individuals’ performance to ensure the best-qualified people are available whenever and wherever they are needed.

Hundreds of SkyBlue workers have now completed the intensive half-day manual handling course, which has been added to SkyBlue’s comprehensive induction programme.

In addition, the first round of Construction Training courses have been delivered with great success in the East Midlands. This particular course, developed by SkyBlue and Carillion Construction Training gives long term unemployed citizens the opportunity to get into the construction industry.

We’re also working in partnership to deliver an NVQ fast tracking service for experienced construction workers via a one day skills testing ‘assessment route’. Locations include Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham& Wembley.

Not forgetting the next generation of workers, we’re active members of the Construction Industry Training Board’s (CITB) Ambassadors programme visiting schools, events and workshops to encourage youngsters to consider a career in the construction industry.

Whatever the job and requirements of our people and clients, SkyBlue really can deliver more in terms of training leading to enhanced performance and a happy workforce.
