In September 2023, we hosted our quarterly Apprentice Day at our Carryduff office. This is an opportunity for apprentices to learn, get to know colleagues, and access further training opportunities provided by Greenview.

CITB Northern Ireland and St John Ambulance Northern Ireland came onsite to train our apprentice team. Jason (CITB NI) taught Working at Heights Awareness and COSHH, whilst Martin (St John Ambulance) delivered Mental Health training. Thank you to Jason and Martin for providing such an informative and thought-provoking day for us.

As well as providing refresher training for our long-term apprentices, we welcomed four new apprentices to their first quarterly Apprentice Day. The day gave them invaluable training to take forward into their four-year programme.

Our annual Apprentice Away Day for 2023 took place at Escarmouche, Ireland’s largest Paintball & Multi-Activity Park. Apprentices and their line managers took to the action park to improve their teamwork, communication, problem-solving abilities – and of course, to let off some steam.

Our HR team organised a brilliant day that was enjoyed by all, including paintball, foosball, tug-of-war and an assault course.

We take great pride in our Apprenticeship Programme and the feedback we receive on the format of the programme. Including a day full of fun-filled activities and an Apprentice Away Day each year provides an opportunity for our apprentices from different teams to come together to share, learn from and support each other.
