Bishop believes in giving everyone the best opportunity to succeed and grow. To enable that we offer comprehensive training, using both external providers and internal knowledge. We have invested in a training space where workers from all parts of the business can gather and learn in a comfortable environment. Some of the targeted training we offer in house is for our Supervisors and Project managers who provide a valuable link between our work and the customer.
External training is also provided including NZQA qualifications and PMP, another globally recognised and respected project management qualification. Our Concrete Technology technicians also benefit from inhouse training on the use and application of concrete repair, grouting and sealing products. This is provided by expertise that has been learnt over the past 20 years. Product suppliers also conduct training so that we keep up with current technology.
With the aging New Zealand workforce and reducing numbers of trade qualified people Bishop is providing a pathway into the trade. Partnering with BCITO we are doing our bit to provide tradesmen for the future and have an apprenticeship training program underway. We have already put several young men through their trade who have carried on to successful careers.
