Poulten
Selfe & Lee Ltd recognise that continued success and development rely
heavily on the skills of its staff and technicians. Much of the test equipment
is produced by hand with exacting standards and takes years of practice and a
particular aptitude for the work.
IPS were initially approached to provide advice,
guidance and support in the recruitment of glass blowing apprentices. This quickly extended to delivering
work-based learning to the highly competent existing staff.
Under the direction of IPS Assessor, Lee Harland, PSL
employee David Blair (pictured left) is on track to achieve his GQA Level 3
Diploma in Glass Processing in April 2013 and two successfully recruited
apprentices will be commencing the GQA Level 2 Certificate in Glass Processing
Apprentice Framework in March.
Joanne
Taylor, Manufacturing Section Leader at IPS International Ltd said:
“These are exciting times, with many changes
to the perception of training throughout the glass industry. Companies like Poulten, Selfe & Lee Ltd
are keeping vital traditional glass blowing skills alive by investing time and
money in developing a younger generation to the trade and IPS feel honored to
be a part of this”.
Sean
Hayes, GQA External Verifier for IPS added “IPS has under the leadership of Joanne
delivered qualifications to the Glass Industries with a real commitment to
quality. They pride themselves on building excellent professional working
relationships with the Employers they engage with. It’s great to see a Centre
embracing the traditional careers as well as the comparatively newer ones”
