Bringing credibility to skills
Fensais set to help spearhead Building Our Skills (BOS) ‘Inspiring The Future’ campaign, launched to introduce fenestration to schools and colleges.
The campaign is one of a number being championed by the BOS team, who will be joining forces with Fensa.
Building Our Skills ambassadorJohn Ogilvie said: “When we first set up Building Our Skills we established there was a distinct need to spread the word ‘fenestration’ across all areas, far-and-wide and as quickly as possible. Most importantly to outline what makes the fenestration industry great and the career opportunities available to young people.”
“BOS established a working relationship with the Department of Education, and adopted its national campaign ‘Inspiring The Future’.
“The campaign encourages people from any industry to volunteer and commit to a minimum of one hour of their time, each year to visit a school or college local to them and talk to children about their job roles, career experiences and the industry they work, inspiring children to think about their own career choices and encouraging them to consider fenestration,” John said.
He continued: “We know parents are big influencers on their children’s career decisions, and knowing Fensa as a trustworthy brand will bring added credibility to BOS and its growth in this area.”
GGF Commercial group MD Anda Gregory said: “We’re taking the skills shortage threatening the sector very seriously, so any opportunity to bang the drum about what a fulfilling and rewarding career the industry can provide is a natural fit for Fensa. Building Our Skills is a campaign for the whole industry, and we’re committed to playing our part.”
