Kier is the first contractor to transfer funds from its apprenticeship levy to its supply chain<\/a> in Liverpool<\/span><\/h2>\n

The funds have been transferred to Fieldway<\/a>, an established electrical contractor based in Liverpool, to upskill two of its current employees to management level through apprenticeships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter Commins, managing director at Kier Regional Building North West<\/a>, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have been the first contractor in Liverpool to able to transfer some of our apprenticeship levy. Fieldway is a valued supply chain partner of ours and we have worked with them on a number of projects, most recently at the enabling works for Shakespeare North.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the ability to support not only the upskilling and training of our employees, but of our supply chain employees is something I\u2019m really proud of and I look forward to continuing to support both local apprentices in our region and the construction industry generally through the use of unspent levy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Carden, managing director at Fieldway highlighted how this wouldn\u2019t have been possible without this support, saying: \u201cIdentifying managers is important but SMEs don\u2019t always have the funds to support them and that\u2019s where the levy transfer comes in. We look at our staff development from the point of view of getting our new staff qualified in their specialist areas so they can work on-site. What Kier and Sysco have done is enable us to take our training opportunities to the next level and we now have clear progression routes to management for established staff in our organisation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Becky Dutton, business development manager from Sysco<\/a>, said: \u201cFor the Liverpool City Region to deliver it\u2019s aspiration of 20,000 new apprenticeships each year by 2020, more levy-paying employers need to consider transferring levy funds and supporting their supply chain. Kier has given Fieldway the opportunity to develop future leaders within its business, ensuring they have leadership with the skills and knowledge needed to continue to prosper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last September, senior member of the Kier team, including Pater Commins, met at Liverpool Town Hall to discuss skills issues with Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kier discussed the success of its skills initiative in Liverpool and revealed that in the last three years, it has taken on 85 new apprentices, organised work experience for 234 young people, employed 16 graduates and created 124 jobs for the local community.<\/span><\/p>\n
