Worksop, UK: Convenience food manufacturer Greencore has awarded Instep UK a contract to deliver an HGV2 apprenticeship programme.
The programme, targeted at Greencore’s logistics teams across the country, will improve the skills of existing logistics workers and create career paths for new staff.
Greencore’s transport director Ben Martin said: “This exciting opportunity will enable Greencore to invest in the skills required to continue to develop and expand our workforce, creating new job opportunities in our sites across the UK. We are really pleased to be partnering with Instep who already provide our Leadership and Management Apprenticeship Standards.”
Instep’s chief executive Andy Murphy said: “The challenges in logistics, specifically HGV drivers, are well documented. We are thrilled to be supporting Greencore in the delivery of the HGV2 programme, which will provide new career opportunities for existing and newly engaged colleagues.
“Programmes such as HGV2 will not only have a great impact for Greencore and their new drivers, but a wider economic benefit, as we look to protect and create the labour market of the future.”
National Apprenticeship Week 2022 runs from 7-13 February.
