Opportunity knocks for young people in building controls engineering
Horsham based Trend Controls has responded to the shocking government statistics which stated that the number of young people not in education, employment or training has risen to a record high of 1.16 million. Trend believes that the technically minded in this group – more commonly referred to as NEETs – should be looking to develop specialist skills by joining the fast growing building controls engineering sector.
Trend is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of building energy management systems (BEMS), with a worldwide distribution and support network covering over 50 countries. Building control systems such as BEMS are increasingly being demanded by organisations seeking greater visibility and control of their energy use.
With growing demand for BEMS, Trend Controls’ learning and
development manager, Phil Prosser, believes that young people with technical interests and abilities should investigate this industry. He commented that “21% of 18-24 year olds are classed as NEETs is an awful statistic. However, some sectors are thriving and there are significant opportunities in the building controls sector for the right people with the right attitude.”
Trend has led from the front on this particular issue with its Attitude Advanced Apprenticeship scheme – a vocational learning programme where a person is employed and also participates in a structured learning programme.
