• Building Our Skills – Into Strata’s Sphere

The Inspiring The Future campaign of Building Our Skills - Making Fenestration, Glass and Glazing a Career of Choice has has fallen into the sphere of Strata Windows.

The Staffordshire domestic and commercial window and door installer is the latest firm to volunteer to attempt to attract more youngsters into the industry.

 “Here at Strata we care very much about addressing the skills gap that is unfortunately a feature of our industry. A key part of this process is encouraging youngsters to join it, teach them about the variety of roles the fenestration industry can offer and to help nurture new recruits.”

Inspiration

“That's why when I heard about Building Our Skills' Inspiring The Future campaign I knew we had to be part of it,” continues Strata Windows’ Parkes. “I was delighted to be accepted as a volunteer. I believe we in the industry can help build confidence in school children and young workers and really help to inspire them with the opportunities that are to be found in the world of fenestration, glass and glazing.

“I think Building Our Skills is a fantastic initiative and I'd encourage other companies' members of staff to get involved too. Volunteering for the campaign's programme is very satisfying. Broadening the horizons of young people is so rewarding."
