An amazing achievement ✨ Being part of this prestigious group highlights our dedication to developing talent and investing in the future of our workforce. Over 5% of our team are in earn-and-learn positions, shaping their careers while contributing to our success!
Celebrating Gold Membership in The 5% Club We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded Gold accredited membership as part of The 5% Club’s esteemed 2024-25 Employer Audit Scheme. This achievement highlights our commitment to empowering our employees through “earn & learn” initiatives such as Apprenticeships, Graduate programmes, and Work Placements. Hear from Jayne Youell, Apprenticeship Lead, who attended the annual event: “On Monday 18th November, Marcus and I attended the 5% Club Annual Employer Audit Symposium at the BT Tower in London. Members of The 5% Club aspire to achieve 5% of their workforce in earn and learn positions (including apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formalised training schemes). This is the first year VolkerWessels UK has taken part in the audit although we have committed to the 5% Club ethos for several years. 229 employers took part in this year’s audit. We had to report on the breadth of our apprenticeship offer, inclusion and social mobility, quality and future growth. Our commitment to developing our staff through programmes such as apprenticeships and graduates has been acknowledged by the achievement of Gold Membership of the 5% Club. It was a proud moment to see our name under the banner of Gold Members and have the success of our professional development programmes recognised.”
