he UK Material Handling Association (UKMHA) is excited to announce the launch of its first apprenticeship scheme. This initiative has been created to help UKMHA members and the wider material handling industry
to develop their own future talent. UKMHA is a not-for-profit organisation representing all aspects of the UK’s material handling industry, including manufacturers, suppliers, dealers and other stakeholders. It is dedicated to advancing excellence in the sector. The association is fully aware of the industry-wide challenge of bridging the current skills gap. It is paramount that the material handling sector attracts young individuals, along with experienced professionals from other sectors, and provides them with the required skills to join our fast moving, growing, and vibrant industry.
UKMHA recognises that apprentices can deliver a vast array of benefits to businesses. The skills developed, via our scheme, will add tangible benefits and value and, in addition to this, there are government funding schemes that cover apprentice training costs.
Rob Fisher, chief executive of UKMHA says:
“Our scheme provides such a fantastic opportunity for businesses across the UK to ensure they have the right people with the best possible skills. Hiring an apprentice is a great way for many companies to recruit, train and retain future talent. Our initiative aligns well with the UK Government’s launch of its Skills England body which has been formed to boost the nation’s skills.”
The UKMHA apprenticeship scheme is specifically designed for the material handling industry with a focus on industry best practices. This ensures apprentices are trained to the highest standards and gain the relevant skills to support their career. All delivered by a scheme that is approved by UKMHA, which is recognised as the voice of the UK material handling industry. Rob Fisher comments: “We are thrilled to have partnered with SMB College Group to develop and deliver a tailored apprenticeship scheme which will meet the needs of our industry.”
