This launch was driven directly by the needs of the industry and client demand. Employers had voiced a need for more targeted, specialised training to help their teams stay at the forefront of best practice. Sierra 57 listened and have delivered.
Real-world impact on industry
The impact of these courses is not confined to the classroom. Businesses can achieve tangible improvements in output and quality thanks to the knowledge their staff take back with them; reductions in downtime and improvements in cycle times and scrap reduction can also be achieved.
This ripple effect demonstrates the value of industryled training. By investing in their people, employers can reap the benefits of greater efficiency, reduced waste, and stronger competitiveness.
For individual trainees, the courses open doors to internal career progression. Many participants can go on to take on more specialist functions, their qualifications acting as a springboard, boosting confidence and signalling a commitment to continuous improvement.
Building a culture of continuous development
A key part of Sierra 57’ s philosophy is that training is not a one-off event but part of a longer business strategy. The company works closely with employers to map out structured development plans, ensuring that staff at all levels, whether new starters or seasoned professionals, have opportunities to develop.
This approach helps create a culture of continuous improvement within businesses. Teams become more
motivated, more adaptable, and more aligned with organisational goals. In an industry where technology and processes evolve constantly, this adaptability is priceless.
Looking ahead
With hundreds of successful trainees already adding value to their employers, and four new courses enriching the company’ s training portfolio, Sierra 57 shows no signs of slowing down. The company plans to continue expanding its reach to ensure the UK plastics industry has access to the expertise it needs.
