Apprenticeship awards finalist
17th May 2016

Aluminium door and window manufacturer ALUFOLDDIRECT is through to the finals of this year’s Insider Made In The North West Awards in recognition of the company’s in-house programme to hire and train unskilled local people.

“We believe there are many people out there with untapped potential and we want to provide them with real jobs to prove themselves,” said Managing Director Craig Miller, “We create these positions because we want to hire and train local people who can’t find the opportunities to develop and learn new skills. Our trainees are the foundation of our business which is why we pay them a good wage and want them to be with us for the future.”

There are currently 25 members of its team who have benefited from the programme, which works in stages, beginning with teaching trainees the basics of manufacturing AluFoldDirect’s range of products. Around six to twelve months into the programme the trainees take charge of the fabricating process and once passing an internal qualification, work unsupervised on two areas of the production line, becoming qualified fabricators. The final stage of the process requires the trainees to train the next batch.
