Painters Remaining Jobless for Lack of an NVQ

Painting NVQ

In the March 2007 edition of the Financial Times it was stated that the number of skilled construction workers in the UK was not enough to meet demand and would not be for at least the next 5 years.  Workers were being brought in from several other areas to meet job demand while many local workers needed jobs but could not find them.  With painters in especially high demand, hopefully many used this time to become certified and be able to meet the requirement to fill the demands.

NVQ Certification Does Make a Difference

At the time of publication, it was speculated that over the next five years, Britain would see a significant increase in the building industry.  Between new building projects, transportation projects, and projects for the 2012 Olympics, skilled labour was going to be stretched thin.

The unfortunate aspect of this is that there are plenty of workers in the UK who would love to take part in these projects but their training and certifications are lacking.  This lack of certifications meant that east Europeans were being brought in to fill spaces where needed while UK residents remained jobless.

A simple certification by way of assessment is all it takes to ensure that you are first in line for major projects.  With all of the building taking place in the UK, every construction professional should be scheduling their NVQ assessments to make sure you have all the certifications you need.  Sufficiently trained and certified painters seem to be in the highest demand but for major government projects, a Painting NVQ is a must.

When a potential employer asks about your skills and qualifications, your Painting NVQ will speak for you.  It tells an employer that you have been assessed and found competent, your skills both technical and safety related are where they need to be, and that you cared enough to become certified.

 

A Painting NVQ Puts You A Step Ahead

While all construction trades are considered “skilled trades”, it is safe to say that painting requires a special skill set.  It takes a talented individual to meet the artistic and technical demands of the job, and as a painter you know what it has taken you personally.

Scheduling an assessment for your Painting NVQ is the best possible thing you could do for yourself and your career.  With skilled painters in such short supply, training and a Painting NVQ will make you shine in the eyes of employers and ensure that someone else is not called in to fill a spot that should have been yours.

Even if there are currently no projects you are interested in, it would be wise to get your and be prepared for any other projects that may arise.  In London alone there are major infrastructure projects taking place now, and over the next several years, that will require skilled painters, such as you with an NVQ and a willingness to work.  Don’t let yourself be passed over; scheduling an assessment is quick and easy and you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
