A NUMBER of former apprentices at a housing association have had their hard work recognised with promotions to full time and permanent positions.
Platform Property Care – a subsidiary of Platform Housing Group – has welcomed Thomas Mills, Sam Cooper and Dan Reader into its workforce.
The three – two from Worcester and one from Halesowen – joined the company as apprentices in November 2020, studying part time at Herefordshire and Ludlow College.
Thomas said: “I would thoroughly recommend working for PPC; it is such a great company to work for with everything in place should we come across any problems. One of the most rewarding things is the fact that I am making positive changes to people’s lives; there is no better feeling than that!”
Sam added: “All of us had Property Care recommended to us by family and friends and I am so glad they did! I feel really honoured to have a full time and permanent job that I thoroughly enjoy!”
“I loved my apprenticeship and it was the cherry on the top to pass my college course and be offered a job that is so rewarding,” said Dan.
Adam Rudge from Platform Property Care said : “Within the construction and maintenance industry there is currently a significant shortage of skilled tradespeople.
“The market is very competitive and the best way to secure our own future is to grow our own talent and invest in people that have the potential to build a long term career within our business.
“We’d like to welcome them all onboard and wish them long and successful careers.”
All three of them passed their college courses with a distinction at the end of last year as well as an internal assessment.
