Industry award for training initiative
Mechanical and electrical building services specialist J S Wright has been honoured by the industry for its approach to apprentice training.
The company, which has offices in Birmingham, Bristol and London, was named as the winner of the Employer Training Initiative of the Year category for London, the South East and the Midlands at the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) Awards, held at The Oxo Tower in London, for the new J S Wright Experience programme.
The innovative scheme was launched at the start of 2018 to provide mechanical and electrical technical apprentices with the all-round skills and experience to pursue an accelerated career path with J S Wright.
Running alongside existing academic and work-based college courses, the programme involves trainees being mentored through a four-year course that includes working in all office departments and on site and being immersed in J S Wright’s values, processes and procedures.
