CTS have been working closely with K&D Joinery of Dagenham since May 2009.

K&D are a progressive joinery manufacturer with expertise and skills to produce high quality joinery items for both the domestic and commercial market.

They offer the complete service from design to manufacture and delivery.

Part of their continual development as a company involves a commitment to training, they have engaged with CTS to deliver NVQ’s on site to the experienced Bench Joinery Operatives who in the past through various reasons have not gained qualifications their skills deserve.

CTS have delivered 14 level 2 Bench Joinery Qualifications to date with an additional 2 Wood Machinists and 5 New Joiners on programme to achieve before the end of March 2010.

If you believe CTS would help your company progress and secure future contracts please do not hesitate to contact the Information, Advice and Guidance (I.A.G) team on 01603 610586. Consultation is free!!

Funding available for some courses.

The K&D Joinery Team.

Following the Most Recent Quality Assurance visit from the Awarding Body on the 9th November 2009 I am very pleased to say that once again CTS have recieved a glowing report.The review of the centres progress allows strategies that would only serve to enhance the centres progression

CTS have once again been seen as a high achiever in construction training and with the help and guidence of CAA can maintain its status as a beacon centre for construction based courses and careers.

On behalf of CTS and Consign Construction Skills I am pleased to invite Construction Employers based in the East of England to a Construction Breakfast forum at CTS premises on Tuesday 3rd November to learn about two apprenticeship schemes specifically designed for businesses like yours in the current tough economic climate. The breakfast forum will start at 7.30am and finish about 9.30am.

CTS and Consign have joined forces to deliver two apprenticeship schemes involving partly trained young people and displaced trainees to enable them to complete their qualifications.

Scheme 1. "Employer recruited"  for businesses who offer full-time employment to provide up to 12 months work experience to enable the apprentice to complete their qualifications.

Scheme 2. "Apprentice shared"  for 2 or more small businesses who are unable to offer full-time employment but can offer up to 12 months of work experience for the apprentice arranged between them. A third party host employer will provide the employment element.

The support for each apprentice placement includes;

* assistance with recruitment and induction

* onsite assessment and monitoring of progress

* help with the application of grants from Construction-Skills upto £2950

* working with employers to ensure the apprentices' safety and well being

* providing a short period of wage subsidy (typically 3 weeks probation to ensure employer trainee compatability)

Spaces are limited, please contact Kyle on 01603 610586 to reserve your place.

we look forward to meeting you and explaining the schemes in more detail.
