apprenticeships

At R B Emerson Ltd & H J Willsmore Ltd we believe that our greatest asset is our workforce and we are committed to ensuring that we maintain training to guarantee continuing strength and growth of the company.

The construction industry as a whole is facing a skills shortage and the electrical and plumbing sectors have been amongst the hardest hit. We have been training apprentices for over 70 years and over that time have helped to produce over 100 qualified electricians. We are proud of our reputation for training and are committed to continuing to provide a skilled workforce for the future.

To ensure high standards of training and safety amongst our workforce, we are assisted by JTL the industries training agency.

Each year R B Emerson Ltd receives over 40 applications from young people wishing to become an apprentice electrician/plumber. Applications are held on file until February each year when we begin our selection process. All applicants are required to pass the JTL selection test, and then are invited for interview. Generally we can accept between 3-4 electrical apprentices and 2-3 plumbing apprentices each year. Apprentices begin employment and college training each September.

The course generally consists of on-site training and day release to college, along with completion of logbooks showing work undertaken on site. All apprentices are assessed on site regularly by JTL. Upon completion of the course, which can take between 3 and 4 years apprentices will have achieved NVQ level 3, once this has been achieved apprentices can be graded by the JIB as a Qualified Electrician or in the case of plumbing you will be a Qualified Plumber.
