Supporting Local Companies Fill HGV Vacancies
On Friday 11th February, Weston College hosted a Business Breakfast for organisations looking to recruit HGV drivers.
The event, which was held at South West Skills Campus, was attended by employers from 11 different organisations looking to recruit HGV drivers, and found out about the popular HGV Skills Bootcamps, taking place at Weston College.
The HGV Skills Bootcamps offer participants free, flexible courses that last up to 16 weeks, with those that successfully complete the course being guaranteed a job interview.
Louise Greene, Business Growth and Employer Partnership Manager, said: “It was great to meet so many employers today, and to offer them a solution to their shortage of skills drivers.
“The driver shortage issues has been felt amongst businesses across the south west, and the new HGV Skills Bootcamps present a fantastic way of training new people to enter the industry, but also to upskill existing drivers.
“At Weston College we are providing a wide range of training, including Cat C, Cat CE and ADR (Hazfreight).
“If your organisation needs support with accessing a pool of freshly trained drivers, feel free to get in touch with our team: employers@weston.ac.uk”
