Taff Housing Association,
As part of a new build affordable housing scheme for Taff Housing Association, we worked with Careers Wales, Cardiff Council and the local Boy’s Club to provide industry awareness and work taster sessions to candidates who are not in education, employment or training (NEET). In addition, we decorated, carpeted and furnished one of the club rooms which was used as a meeting facility.
Newydd Housing Associations Long Term Partnership
The company has entered into a long-term partnership arrangement with Newydd Housing Associations to deliver their planned maintenance programme and, as a consequence, the company is providing social sustainability added value such as:
◦ Providing new entry apprenticeships for two carpenters and two electricians;
◦ Providing work placements in order to supplement the Associations’ in-house direct labour organisation’s apprentices experience to accord with the NVQ curriculum requirements.
◦ In addition to creating apprentice places, we are also providing the following package of opportunities:
◦ Work taster sessions to the Association’s residents;
◦ Supporting the Associations’ residents to carry out community projects;
◦ Community project funding;
◦ Back to work interview training;
◦ Participation in skills fairs and open days;
◦ School presentations to raise awareness of industry career opportunities;
