Having signed the Club’s charter, the company has committed to playing its part in addressing youth unemployment and skills shortages, pledging to work towards having a minimum 5% of its UK workforce enrolled on formalised apprentice, student and/or graduate development schemes within five years.
James Roberts, Organisation & Human Resources Director at Aggregate Industries, comments: “As a company, our goals are very much aligned with the 5% Club’s aims, which is why we felt it was important to continue to join forces with like-minded organisations and further commit to investing in and equipping the country with the skilled workforce it needs to safeguard Britain’s economy.”
Membership of the 5% Club numbers more than 320 businesses from across a broad range of sectors as well as size of company, including large corporations as well as SMEs.
