Caring For The Existing Workforce

Graduate Apprenticeship Programme

I’ve always had an interest in construction, particularly buildings and how they are constructed and maintained. When I left school, I originally pursued a degree in building surveying, but I desperately wanted to develop my practical experience. I applied for an apprenticeship with GRAHAM and started their programme to gain a technical apprenticeship to HNC Level. When the pandemic struck, our mentors at Heriot Watt University and the team at GRAHAM were supportive throughout and ensured we all stayed on track, achieved our outcomes and produced the appropriate evidence.”

AVQ Management are a training provider based in Kilmarnock. In the last 6 years, in conjunction with GRAHAM, we have delivered SVQ qualifications at SCQF levels 6-11 to approximately 200 individuals working within GRAHAM and members of their supply chain employees.

As a supply chain member ourselves, the support of GRAHAM has been invaluable to the development of our own business.”

Training The Existing Workforce

The promotion of industry skills is an important goal for GRAHAM, it benefits not only our own operation but the overall construction sector across Scotland. This presents many benefits for employees as well as employers, helping to develop a knowledgeable workforce which can deliver complex projects quickly and professionally.

Not only GRAHAM employees, but employees of companies within our supply chain have been supported with access to training SVQ qualifications, which range from HNC to Master’s level.
