Training Programmes
The social purpose of FRC Group is to change the lives of people living in poverty and unemployment. One way we do this is by creating effective training programmes that prepare unemployed people to move in to employment.
The FRC Group approach to training is to work with people for a 12-month period to make a big change in their lives. Our trainees take on real work in our businesses. We pay them a salary, provide specialist training and transferable skills and prepare them to move on into the mainstream employment market. As well as the chance to work in our businesses, we give trainees the full support of FRC Group’s People and Learning Team to ensure that they succeed and that their chances of long term employability are greatly increased.
Training for unemployed people has been at the heart of FRC Group for more than 15 years. In the earliest days of the organisation, we knew that our then volunteers were gaining valuable experience that could help them to get a job. On top of the on the job work experience, we added a number of training courses that lead to certificates and professional qualifications that are needed to work in the logistics industry.
In 2008 FRC Group’s “Driving Change” programme was the overall UK Winner at the National Training Awards. The judges described “Driving Change” as “offering excellent opportunities for their trainees to gain qualifications, but providing a truly life changing experience that fully sets those trainees up for sustainable employment in the future”.
“The “Driving Change” programme includes
• A paid job for 12-months
• LGV Class II Licence
• A choice of Fork Lift Licence, ADR Licence or HIAB
• Manual Handling Certificate
• First Aid Certificate
• Health and Safety Certificate
• Equal Opportunities Training
• Tachograph Training
• Numeracy and Literacy Training
• Environmental Training
• Job Search Support
What’s the impact?
In the past decade more than 200 previously unemployed people have been through the 12-month training programmes with an average of 80% - and as many as 94% of a single cohort - entering employment at the end of the programme.
We compare the chances of finding work for someone who has been out of work for 2.5 years and completed “Driving Change” and someone who has not. Our findings show that “Driving Change” trainees are 7 times more likely to find employment after completing FRC Group’s training programme than they were when they started.
Are you an employer with vacancies to fill?
At the end of our training programme, our trainees have professional qualifications, the necessary experience and a proven track-record of being a valued employee. They would be a great addition to your team and if you would like to discuss recruiting trainees who have completed the programme contact FRC Group’s People & Learning Team on 0151 702 0550.
