Apprenticeships - A Success Story

Highly Commended - Small Employer of the Year

Highly Commended - Small Employer of the Year

After being nominated in the Small Employer of the Year category by Milton Keynes College, SJD Electrical were Highly Commended for Apprenticeship training at the LSC South East Learning Skills Award 2009.

This commendation was in recognition of the dedication and commitment to training by everyone at SJD, especially their Advanced Apprentices.


Praise for the College ...

"We're proud of our strong links with Milton Keynes College. Our future recruitment will be conducted via the College, simply because the standard they deliver is exceptional. It's a huge honour to reach the final; we're thrilled to have done so well, commented Company Director, Ruth Devine."

In September 2008, SJD placed six electricians with Milton Keynes College to complete their Advanced Apprenticeships, including NVQ Level 3, Key Skills and AM2 skills test. 75% of the workforce are now working towards a recognised level 3 qualification.


SJD's perspective ...

"Most electricians only do their three years at college to become technically qualified," explained Ruth "but we wanted to push our electricians forward to achieve all they could and demonstrate competence in the workplace. Some will progress to Higher Education next year."

She added: "It's a big commitment in terms of time and support, but the results are worth it. Our electricians are more motivated, driven and see a future with the company. They have already seen improved loyalty and greater individual responsibility."
