Our latest PPP Internship Skills Academy has proven another huge success – with several interns now placed with companies across our supply chain.
Our internship scheme, now welcoming its eighth cohort, was set-up to provide first-class employment and career development opportunities to people in the local community who have previously struggled to find sustained, quality employment.
First, the prospective interns go through a skills academy programme to prepare them for the workplace. And then an interview stage follows where eight were successfully selected to join the award-winning internship scheme.
Keltbray, NG Bailey, Sir Robert McAlpine, PPS Electrical, ONEaim, i3 and Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick are some of the companies participating in the scheme and taking on interns.
Wendy Mallard, PPP Internship Lead, said: “It is great to see our supply chain engaging with the PPP Internship Scheme and supporting the community by giving our interns a really good opportunity to develop and grow within their sectors.
“This recent cohort was our eighth and they were all exceptional, proving just how committed to the process they were by attending the four-week Skills Academy with Inspira, and engaging with all the employability training provided for them.
“And this has now led them to a possible future career with their respective companies.”
