Earlier this month, our Area Director, Gary Kelly, was invited to Willmott Dixon's 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 in Dewsbury. The program was organised by Vickie Thornton and Gary was invited to support her sessions on 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨 and 𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨.

Eight participants from NEET backgrounds took part in the initial two-week programme covering everything from personal and professional development and employability skills to practical skill building. There is still work to be done, and these participants will continue to receive support moving forward so they get the best chance at sustainable employment. 

The program has been a great success with two participants already securing full time employment. O’Neill & Brennan UK have successfully placed one of the participants to work on the new Police Custody Suite in Dewsbury for Willmott Dixon.

Well done to Vickie for organising a fantastic event and letting us be a part of it.
