This project will increase the availability and quality of on-site assessment in the following areas:

• Passive Fire Protection
• Interior Systems, including: Dry Lining Boarding/Fixing/Finishing, Ceiling Fixing, Modular Demountable Partitioning

This solution engages companies and the workforce in the finishes and interiors sector, by providing On-site Assessment and Training (OSAT) NVQs and identifying individuals as assessors working in conjunction with our training providers. This will be done by funding for 250 OSAT NVQs and 50 assessor qualifications.

This project is focused on training new assessors in Passive Fire and Finishes and Interiors

DMR Training & Consultancy Limited (DMR) is proposing to extend its current NVQ qualification assessment service to employers in the finishing and interiors and plant operations sectors, by increasing its capacity and training and assessment service throughout Great Britain. DMR is proposing to support employers in the 2 sectors to address their skills gaps. This will result in the recruitment of new assessors and Internal Quality Assurance staff (IQA’s), the re-deployment of existing assessors and an investment in the skills, qualifications and professional development of new and existing assessors. DMR will offer employers the opportunity for new and existing employees to undertake nationally recognised NVQ qualifications as part of employee development and upskilling arrangements with directed training support made available, as required.

The project will target FE full time construction diploma course students and encouraging them to follow a career in home building, supporting house builders to build on their existing relationships with colleges in target areas and regions to deliver a fast-track route into employment.

The project will extend the existing Special Upskilling Programme (SUP) in dry lining.

The purpose of this is to re-engage the unemployed with previous construction experience in the North East of England.

The projects objective is to encourage the target market to follow a career in construction to reduce the existing skills gap and reduce unemployment, by adapting the existing Specialist Upskilling Programme in dry lining to suit the needs of the client group.

The project will develop a network of Centres of Excellence across the UK to support training in Joinery, Shop-fitting and Interior Contracting  using new apprenticeship standards as the bedrock Using this network  to ensure all units can be offered and ensuring curriculums are up to date and standardised by providing ‘bolt-on’ modules.

After the project more wood workers will have the skills to operate CNC machinery, and the capacity for further people to upskill will be increased through the network of centres of excellence.

The project will develop, support and create a competent managerial workforce within the shop-fitting and interior contracting sector and to promote the lifelong learning ethos within each company.

Through developing the workforce, we will also demonstrate that roles within the industry are more than mere jobs; a career in construction is just that, a real career with development options and an exciting opportunity to join and grow in a world class industry.

The project will address recent significant demand to utilise new technological advances in CNC machinery in Shopfitting, Interior Construction and Wood Machining sectors.

After the project, the skills gap in CNC operation will be reduced as CNC operators are given the skills they need to carry out their work.
