Welsh housing consortium Integrate launch trainee recognition awards
An awards scheme to recognise the achievements of apprentices and trainees has been launched by Integrate – a consortium of seven Welsh housing associations and national property services provider, Apollo,
The placements or trainees will be taking part in the housing associations’ targeted recruitment and training schemes (TR & T) delivered by the Integrate consortium. These schemes aim to lever employment and training opportunities from planned development contracts and support local people back into work.
The ‘Recognition Awards‘ will be given to trainees working for any member of the consortium or its contractors, in recognition of their commitment to progression. This might include excellent attendance, positive attitude or perhaps going that extra mile in the course of their work.
The recognition awards, which can be given any time during their placement, will reward trainees with incentives to help reduce barriers to work, and which will further facilitate their journey into employment or training. This might include help towards the purchase of driving lessons, work wear, tools or bus and rail passes.
Michelle Smith Project Manager with Integrate said; “These awards are a great way to acknowledge progression; with the result further helping to break any potential barriers to the participants continuing to pursue employment. We are looking forward to working with Apollo and to celebrating with trainees.”
Integrate and Apollo welcomes nominations from all contractors working within the consortium who are currently hosting an apprentice or trainee.
Apollo’s Regional Director for Wales, Daren Moseley, added: “Apollo has always been a great advocate of apprenticeships and training, and these new Recognition Awards provide a new way of ensuring that apprentices or trainees are rewarded for their hard work and given extra motivation to develop within their roles. The incentives given will also give the trainees practical help to allow people to progress further in their roles.”
