BPMA NEWS 7
SUPPORT FOR JOB SEEKERS The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA) has launched a free service designed to help individuals who are unemployed or facing redundancy, and who have a relevant engineering background, to find work within the pump sector or its associated trades.
T
hrough this online service, the BPMA will help match job seekers to those companies with vacancies specific to the pumps and pump systems related industry. Many BPMA members have highlighted the difficulties they face in finding, recruiting and nurturing new talent. The launch of the Pipeline Vacancy Board, where the Association’s members are encouraged to display any vacancies they have, responds to this challenge. The BPMA is also keen to work with UK-based universities which have engineering faculties to help place suitable students within UK pump companies. Pump-related companies with an appropriate engineering vacancy, or indeed any candidates interested in promoting themselves via this service, are encouraged to contact Steve Smith at
the BPMA by email on s.smith@bpma.org.uk. No individual name or company will be identified on the website, as vacancies will have a unique reference number which must be quoted on any application or CV request. The BPMA will contact the relevant parties for further information as requested, and it is expected that by subscribing to this service all parties will have read and be bound by the BPMA Privacy Statement.
BPMA TRAINING NOW OFFERS CPD ACCREDITATION
A
s part of its ongoing commitment to the development and delivery of high-quality industry-specific training for both its members and the wider pump using sector, the BPMA has secured Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation across its full training programme. The organisation’s suite of lecturebased courses – which includes pumping fundamentals, pump selection, pump testing, pump systems and the hydraulic design of centrifugal pumps – and two e-learning courses covering an introduction to pumping technology and the essentials of pumping technology, have all reached the required CPD standards and benchmarks which offers those engaging in the training an assurance of the integrity and quality of the course. In addition, both e-learning courses are independently accredited by the National Open College Network (NOCN), which brings further credibility and value to the courses and the resulting qualifications.
