BUILDING OUR SKILLS WELCOMES SUPPORT FROM SYSTEMS COMPANY
Industry big hitters REHAU have thrown their weight behind Building Our Skills - Making Fenestration , Glass and Glazing a Career of Choice .
» REHAU , ONE OF THE COUNTRY ’ S leading uPVC window systems companies , has provided support to Building Our Skills for approximately a year , and has now formalised this backing by becoming a National Partner . Becoming a National Partner means REHAU now has access to the widest range of services , initiatives and materials afforded by the organisation . These include Building Our Skills ’ bespoke industry careers fairs , a workplace visits programme , a role with the BOS Advisory Panel , and a wealth of new opportunities and assistance in skills training , apprenticeships and the development of programmes to help attract new starters to Rehau ’ s many business units .
REHAU ’ s Stephen Beresford , Head of Marketing , comments :
“ Becoming a Building Our Skills National Partner is a great fit for us . We have a mutual interest in bringing talent into the industry . We hadn ’ t found the right vehicle before to enable us to help achieve this , and I ’ m very pleased that joining forces with BOS affords us this opportunity . It ’ s incredibly important that employers are able to attract young people into fenestration in order to ensure that it thrives . I think many of them are unaware of the sheer breadth of roles that we offer .
“ As a company we have already completed several college visits , and I ’ m looking forward to seeing more of these undertaken through BOS . In addition , we attended both of the BOS careers festivals last year and are engaged with the programme for 2025 . We had brilliant feedback from visitors and staff , proving that they are definitely the way forward . All in all , working with Building Our Skills is going to be a key part of our future plans to help attract the best talent and safeguard future skills .”
