Stannah honour their young engineer trainees
Thirteen budding Stannah engineers were the centre of celebrations in Stockbridge recently when they received their training certificates that marked their apprentice graduation, from their management teams and mentors. Peter Perry, Operations Director, Stannah Lift Services, was delighted to present the certificates and comments: “We are pleased to be able to offer apprenticeships each year within the Stannah Group and continue to support training opportunities that extend the trainees formal qualifications, confidence and capability. These young people have demonstrated the type of dedication and commitment that will enable them to progress their careers within the lift industry. They are our future and who knows, they may, one day, be the company’s management team too. “Apprenticeships offer fantastic opportunities to young people who like the practical work, some payment for their efforts and encouragement for their academic studies. It is a real and valued alternative to full time further education. Many of our graduates will go on to achieve higher qualifications, often sponsored by Stannah.” All the successful candidates have completed NVQ Level 3
