Build your team and help to address the skills shortage
Posted: Friday, April 18th, 2025
Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) has partnered with The Skills Centre to deliver Skills Bootcamps aimed at addressing the growing skills shortage in the finishes and interiors sector. To support this, the industry body is inviting tradespeople in the finishes and interiors sector to a local Bootcamp which is taking place on 30th April at Build East, Stratford to see first-hand the candidates who are currently undertaking training in Internal/External Insulation and Drylining. As part of the bootcamp, FIS is seeking employers who can offer interviews, two-week work placements and/or employment opportunities for these candidates. Funded by the Department for Education, the bootcamps provide a pathway for those looking to enter construction or upskill into a more specialist role. However, without the support of employers these individuals may never enter construction. By coming along, businesses can meet the individuals and see the training in action. The Internal / External Insulation and Dry Lining Bootcamps have a duration of eight weeks, which include two weeks work experience.
