Third of ISG trainees find new placements
Posted: Tuesday, October 8th, 2024
Trade association Build UK has been coordinating efforts to ensure that ISG trainees remain in the industry, The Construction Index reported. Since ISG went into administration on 20 September—just over two weeks ago—46 of its 141 new entrants have been offered jobs with other construction companies. Build UK chief executive Suzannah Nichol said that that number was expected to grow in the coming days, and she expressed confidence that roles will eventually be found for all those affected. “The collective response from Build UK members and the broader industry to ISG’s collapse has been positive. “More than 25 organisations, including Bowmer & Kirkland, Kier, Mace, Sir Robert McAlpine, Sisk and Wates, have so far taken on affected apprentices and graduate trainees who are just starting in their construction careers, and it is an excellent example of what we can do when we work together.” Businesses that are in a position to take on apprentices or graduate trainees can contact Build UK at info@BuildUK.org.
