Bedford based sealed unit manufacturer Vetroseal is
delighted to announce that 20 of its employees have achieved their GQA level 2
NVQ qualification.
It is a real seal of approval for the high tech
manufacturing company which produces over 5000 sealed units each week including
toughened and soft coated units at its 20,000 square feet factory. All units are manufactured and accredited to
BS EN1279-5 and the emphasis on quality doesn’t stop there.
Quality is a real watchword throughout the company and Managing
Director Eric Falisi wanted the company’s employees to have the opportunity to
operate to standards just as high as those used in the manufacturing process.
Working with GQA approved centre The Vocational College he enrolled
his staff to undertake a process of learning and qualification which would give
them skills to carry with them throughout their career and which at the same
time would benefit the company.
“The investment in these qualifications for my employees
will help the company to gain future contracts and keep us ahead of our
competitors. I am very proud of them all
and very happy. Ours is a very
competitive sector of the industry, so the better qualified our staff the more
chance we have of continuing to be successful”.
“At the same time I would also like to say a big thank you
to The Vocational College for their brilliant and expert assessors and for the
excellent way they delivered the GQA qualifications with very little disruption
to the day to day workload of our team”.
“This is the start point for us as a company; all new
employees will go through the same apprenticeship training which is so
important if we want to attract young people to our industry, and I will
encourage existing employees to go further and sign up for NVQ level 3
qualifications”.
Paul Gray from The Vocational College (pictured with Eric,
Sean Hayes from GQA, and members of the Vetroseal team) was equally delighted.
“This was a large programme.
It was fantastic to see a company commit to putting a significant number
of employees onto a learning programme all at once and their enthusiasm to
learn was a credit to them all.
Achieving their NVQ level 2 qualifications will help them as
individuals, and will help the company to prosper; it is a very sound
investment on their part, and we look forward to working with them to implement
a level 3 programme”.
GQA
has been writing qualifications with and for the industry for over 25 years. Further
