The Collard Academy, our very own in-house dedicated training and development hub, is providing the key for us to build the workforce of tomorrow by attracting the best talent in the industry and equipping our people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need today.
The newly launched Collard Academy offers blended learning, leadership development, knowledge transfer, and career progression for all our colleagues with a range of tailored training courses available.
Robert Collard, our founder and MD said: “Investing in people isn’t a mere HR initiative; it’s fundamental to our business and the way we operate. From day one, we instil technical competence, professional values, and a safety-first mindset in recruits and at the same time we’re continually upskilling our workforce every single day.
“Putting emphasis on training empowers our talented colleagues to tackle both current and future demands of the demolition and waste management industry. The Collard Academy is about the journey our people take to secure the accreditations and softer skills they need to do their jobs, change careers, or perform better every day.”
Apprenticeships are vital for the future of the industry so we’re proud to support our apprentices through the Collard Academy, but it’s also open to all our staff at all levels of the business. For example, our graduate pathways offer university leavers a rewarding route into the industry by taking their degree to the next level through management and leadership training alongside practical learning.
We’re 100% committed to promoting equal opportunities in employment and are passionate about developing our people and providing fantastic opportunities to progress in an exciting industry.
