What's New in JHP Stirling, Alloa and Falkirk

JHP Training Alloa Army day out

Alloa Army Day Out Learners on JHP Alloa's Get Ready for Work programme were lucky enough to spend an entire day with the Army recently. The learners visited Redford and Dreghorn barracks and were put through their paces during a variety of challenges throughout the day including team-building exercises, assault courses, laser gun competitions, paintballing and endurance tests. The soldiers showed learners their kit and equipment including smoke grenades, survival kits and even an AK47 rifle!

Thomas Robinson, tutor at JHP Alloa led the team and commented ‘all the learners and myself had a great time and enjoyed the programme, even when we were being shouted orders by the soldiers!The learners and myself would like to thank the army for the day and look forward to more events in the future’

A great day out building confidence and skills for all involved.

JHP Stirling in Partnership with Falkirk Council

JHP Stirling have just completed a successful retail vocational programme with Falkirk Council. The partnership was formed to give ten individuals the chance to get their start in the retail sector and involved both learners of all ages and from various backgrounds. All participants attended workshops and practical retail training sessions along with hands-on experience from intense work placements. The dedication and commitment of all the learners and staff involved ensured everyone on the programme achieved a permanent position with their placement company.

All of the learners were positive about the programme and their comments reflect this:

"I would let anyone know if they are looking to get into work JHP Training and Falkirk Council are the best people to go to" - Louise Henderson

"The training was very helpful and I learned a lot…..the staff were very good with all of us and got us the placements we wanted" - Benjamin Bryce

Following this successful partnership, JHP Stirling will start another course in the summer and are aiming for the same excellent results.

JHP Stirling Embraces Retail Qualfications and eNVQ

JHP Stirling has made great progress in the delivery of retail qualifications and eNVQ with learner in both Tesco Extra in Alloa and the ASDA Falkirk.

At Tesco Extra, learners undertook Modern Apprenticeships if Customer Service, Retail, Distribution and Warehousing and Management – all qualification were delivered by Training Manager Greig Reinwick and Assessor Tom Foggo. The learners all expressed their enjoyment of the training experience and have said that they would definitely recommend the programmes to their colleagues in the future. JHP Stirling will continue this successful partnership with a new group of learners soon and will also introduce eNVQ to the store.

ASDA Falkirk has already embraced eNVQ and have had their first learner complete using the system. Melanie Gilson enjoyed the experience commenting that her Modern Apprenticeship will help her in both current and future job roles and that eNVQ was easy to use. Melanie is looking to continue her development by applying to complete additional vocational units using her ILA account.

Greig Renwick of JHP Training, Haliem’s Alison Hill, Alison Gee of the Prince’s Trust and Brian Lynch of JHP Training celebrate a Scottish Youth Business Trust success.

JHP Stirling is Entrusted to the Prince

Over the past few months, JHP Training in Stirling has begun working in a royal partnership with the Prince’s Trust, resulting in its first achievement.

The Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust leads Scotland in the promotion and support of self-employment and business creation amongst young people.

Alison Hill successfully set up her own business called ‘Haliem’ selling high fashion shoes and accessories thanks to funding from the Prince’s Trust. Now, two years down the line, Alison has used her experience and skills to achieve her SVQ in Management. and found the process very worthwhile, she said:

“The SVQ made me more aware of my own job role and allowed me to make changes and improvements to benefit the business.”

Following this success, JHP Stirling will continue working with the Prince’s Trust to help other emerging leaders and entrepreneurs gain vocational qualifications. Get in touch if you want to know more.

Wheel Good Deal

JHP Training Stirling is proud to have been successfully delivering SVQ qualifications at The Falkirk Wheel, providing staff with qualifications in Management, Retail, Customer Service and Hospitality.

The Falkirk Wheel is the UK’s largest canal restoration project and was developed by British Waterways to reconnect the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde Canal, joining the east and west coast for boat access. JHP Stirling is pleased to be a part of the project’s success by providing staff training and qualifications.

Mum Named Top Learner

Angela Bell and Isobel Dick JHP Learner Angela Bell has been named regional learner of the year for Scotland. The 27-year old mum picked up her award at a ceremony at JHP’s office in Coventry last week, along with £500 worth of vouchers.

Angela completed her ECDL at JHP Training in Stirling then successfully applied for a job with Prudential at its Craigforth headquarters. Since joining Prudential at the start of the year she has been promoted three times. She explains how JHP Training has helped her get her life back on track.

“Four years after having my daughter Cerys in I was still a full-time mum and, while I loved spending time with her, I thought I’d missed my chance at a career. I decided to make an appointment with the Jobcentre, and the adviser told me about the ECDL and how it could give me a recognised qualification.

“I was put in touch with JHP Training and, having arranged for Cerys to attend nursery full-time, started the course in late September. I enjoyed every minute of it, completing it in December – doing the ECDL really helped my confidence. Then my JHP tutor suggested I apply for an administration placement and after my first interview in nine years I got the job, my first in five years.

“I am now a pensions administrator and I love it. Doing the ECDL has turned my life around and I still keep in touch with people at JHP and made several friends during my training who I meet with regularly.”

Congratulations Angela, and best of luck for the future.
