  • It's a busy week of celebrating our team, as this week also marks Women in Construction Week, this time spotlighting Natasha Fertnig, a Trainee Site Manager at Dandara Southern.   Previously a Sales Executive in the new homes industry, Natasha developed a strong passion for construction. She comments: "I love seeing a site come to life, from initial drawings and plans to complete homes and I’m enjoying learning so much about the finer details of that process. One of the things I’ve noticed and appreciated is that no two days are the same in construction – the role is so varied and rewarding."   She’s also working toward her NVQ Level 4 in Site Supervision and will soon complete her first aid and fire marshal training.   It’s inspiring to see more women entering the construction industry and we’re excited to watch Natasha grow in her role! 👷♀️ To read more https://bit.ly/3QHXHRT #womeninconstruction #traineesitemanager #housebuilding

    We're celebrating National Apprenticeship Week this week (10–16 February). Our trainee scheme is part of our ongoing commitment to helping the UK close its skills gap and inspire the next generation. While the UK government has planned to build 1.5 million new homes over the next five years , the latest Construction Skills Network report forecasts that there is a need for 251,500 extra construction workers by 2028 to meet the anticipated levels of work. To help meet that need, our programme offers newcomers to the industry the proper training and qualifications needed for the future.  Comprising an initial three-year programme designed to deliver skills and qualification-based experience, rotating between all departments our trainees get all round experience. Alison Murphy, Learning & Development Manager at Dandara, commented: “The skills gap is a major challenge we face as a housebuilder. The boom for housing and Government ambition to build 1.5 million homes is there, but the most crucial element driving the whole project is missing - the workforce to deliver these ambitions. “As National Apprenticeship Week kicks in, we want to support those trying to plug this skills gap by offering schemes such as our management programme. The scheme is designed for school leavers, like Harry (pictured) right through to those looking to change careers. Investment into people and training the next generation is the key to unlocking the UK’s housing targets and we are here to help anyone who is passionate to kickstart their career." #nationalapprenticeshipweek #apprentice #housebuildingapprenticeship #traineeprogramme
