The link between NVQs and Pride in the Job success
In looking at the Pride in the Job 2022 Quality Award winners, we were delighted and heartened to discover that 25% of the winners were studying or had recently completed an NVQ with us. This link between further study and success in the competition is significant and demonstrates the value of additional study in on-the-job performance.
Hear from one of our Quality Award winning NVQ candidates
Having previously worked in construction for 30 years, Brian O’Kane decided to further his career within the industry by doing an NVQ while working for the Braidwater Group.
Brian began studying for an NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Construction Site Management – Residential Development with NHBC in October 2019 and has now completed the qualification. His dedication to excellence and quality also led to him winning a prestigious Pride in the Job award for the Northern Ireland region.
He says:
“The NVQ has helped me immensely in my role as site manager. I would thoroughly recommend it as it has enhanced my knowledge in all aspects of the construction field, from communication to technical and health and safety issues.
It has been a great asset in my career progression as I will be moving from site management to contracts management in the very near future. The qualification has enhanced my passion and knowledge in my day-to-day work and provided me with the tools to strive towards the annual Pride in the Job award."
