Supporting and developing the next generation of groundworkers is at the heart of what we do at Polypipe Building Products 🏗️👷♂️
We recently teamed up with OTE Construction Training Centre in Hull, a fantastic 12,000 sq. ft. facility dedicated to helping young people from all backgrounds build confidence and gain real-world qualifications for a career in construction.
Here is how we're working together to bridge the skills gap:
👀 Who: Polypipe Building Products x OTE Construction Training Centre.
🤷 What: We supplied a range of our Below Ground pipe and fittings to give trainees hands-on experience with the exact, industry-leading products they’ll utilise on live sites.
🤔 Why: Practical, real-world training ensures future tradespeople step onto site job-ready, confident, and equipped with best practices from day one.
"Practicing with the actual products they’ll use on site builds real confidence and sets our apprentices up for the future."
- Kev Davison, Occupational Development Director at OTE Construction Training
Collaboration between manufacturers and training providers is key to raising industry standards and building a stronger future workforce 🤝
