If you're only hiring and hoping, you're not doing enough. Building successful companies means demonstrating support for growth of crafts skills and professionalism. We all need to invest in that progress. This is one of the core priorities in the collaboration between our unions and our partner employers.
“Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. Keep moving, keep growing, keep learning.”

Achieving small milestones leads to a lifetime of accomplishments. I have had the privilege of observing the development of Romeo Coreas and Jose Merino over the past few years, which culminated this week in their successful completion of the INSTALL certifications. I am filled with pride seeing them progress from inexperienced apprentices to skilled installers. As they continue their final year of apprenticeship, I hope they share my confidence in their abilities.

I-CAR Academy is a Department of Labor-approved apprenticeship program, which means it’s not just for schools—it’s for collision repair facilities, too. This program helps train entry-level technicians, create career pathways, and even access potential state and federal funding.

Apprenticeships are where you really learn your trade. Thankfully I was taught at an early stage to keep my anvil well greased. Any joiners, roofers, carpenters or other tradesmen want to share the secret tips of their trade?

The Department for Education is considering closing the Level 3 Improvement Technician and Level 5 Improvement Specialist Apprenticeships to new learners.
At Qualitrain, we deliver all 4 levels of the Improvement apprenticeships, and our customers consistently find them invaluable for staff development and driving process improvements. These apprenticeships provide learners with the essential knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to enhance productivity, efficiency, and business growth. Their removal would limit employers’ ability to use levy funding to build these critical capabilities and restrict career progression opportunities for many learners.
We strongly oppose this decision and need your support. Please share your feedback by emailing businessandadministration.ifate@education.gov.uk before 9th December, emphasizing the impact these apprenticeships have on your team, organisation, and overall success.
Your input can help preserve these vital standards. Thank you for your support!
