Rewarding Great People - Issue 1

INTEGRITY

We are proud to be supporting the government’s ‘Kickstart Scheme’, which provides funding to employers to create six-month job placements for 16 to 24-year-olds who are claiming Universal Credit and are at risk of long-term unemployment. To support this great initiative, we set ourselves the goal of taking in 60 individuals to mark our 60th year and took on an initial cohort of 15 Kickstart placements across various divisions in the business from a variety of education and experience levels. A number of them have been with us for several months now, working in roles that we created specifically for them to provide them with training and experience, as well as offering them a valuable insight into the construction industry. In that time we have seen a huge benefit from the scheme and seen these young people grow and develop into assets for the company. We have been greatly impressed with their work attitude and their ability to embrace the new challenges that FM Conway has presented them with and this has led us to offer several of our Kickstarters full-time positions within the business.
