It’s never too late!
Mature career changers lead the way: increasing numbers are training for satisfying careers as plumbers, electricians and in renewable “green” technologies.
It’s never too late!
As the retirement age increases and pensions get smaller many people are having to think about working until an older age. But this doesn’t appeal if your job is highly stressful or it involves long hours. New Career Skills has the answer.
Re-train for a job in plumbing or electrics that has flexible working hours and good pay, it’s never too late! New Career Skills are leading nationwide training providers that offer the opportunity for people to change careers at any stage in their lives. The country is currently suffering a skills shortage and with the Olympics ahead – we need as many trade skilled workers as possible.
With the opening of the largest training centre of its kind within the UK, New Career Skills offer courses in plumbing and electrics that get you on the road to becoming fully fledged in either profession. Courses are very flexible, all the theory is completed at home as part of a distance learning plan and then 4 weeks practical is completed at the centre. Standing at 10,000sq ft it can train up to 75 students at a time, and offers a ‘live’ working environment just like training in a real bathroom or with wired electrics.
Working in a trade such as plumbing offers self-decided hours, a potentially high income and a skill that there is a high demand for.
Trevor Dormedy, managing director of New Career Skills, comments:
‘The courses we offer are aimed at the mature career changer, there are currently many factors impacting on this age group such as the retirement age increase which are encouraging them to seek alternative types of employment. At New Career Skills we are proud to offer an opportunity to do that, and our new centre has increased our capacity to do so.’
