Right now, HGVT is working with 17 SMEs in the agriculture and forestry sectors to train their employees, but there’s room for many more. With up to 1,900 places up for grabs over the next two years, it’s the perfect time to get involved.
The Skills Bootcamps offer flexible 16-week courses where employees can learn everything needed to earn their Category C (rigid lorry) or Category C+E (articulated lorry) licences. There’s also support for those who already have a Category C licence and want to upgrade to Category C+E.
Prath kamat, marketing manager at HGVT, is keen to get more firms on board: “We’re already helping 17 firms, but we have capacity to do much more. This funding opportunity from the DfE means we can help even more drivers get qualified. For any SMEs thinking about their training budgets, this is a great chance to upskill your team and get more qualified drivers out there keeping Britain moving.”
Kim Parsons, Managing Director at Agreco, shared her experience: “Having a reliable team of qualified HGV drivers is crucial for our forestry operations. The Skills Bootcamp has been a game-changer with its generous 90% funding. Investing in our team’s training has not only improved our efficiency but also ensured that our timber deliveries are always on schedule. The process with HGVT is straightforward, and we’re looking forward to having our newly trained drivers support our operations very soon.”
