Academy launch
16th April 2019

OAKLAND GLASS is to launch the Oakland Glass Academy at this year’s FIT Show, to play its part in tackling the skills gap in the industry.

Managing director Tina Moorhouse said: “The Oakland Glass Academy encompasses all the good work we already do to develop our people. This includes a retraining program of all staff covering the standardisation of processes across the site and on different shifts, apprenticeships, the introduction of a new role in business support with one big focus being training and development, and a programme of Management NVQ’s. But the Academy’s ultimate purpose will be to attract, train and retain the best talent.

“We will be celebrating 33 years in business this year. We’re proud that through the tough times and the good, we have kept our focus where it matters, very firmly on quality. It’s why 100% of our employees are employed directly and are actively encouraged to develop their skills to ensure they play an integral part in continuously improving the business.
