Building Our Skills hosts its first WFN hands-on learning day

Building Our Skills is hosting a women-only hands-on learning day

As one of the top promoters of careers in the glazing industry, Building Our Skills is hosting a women-only hands-on learning day for Women in Fenestration Network.

Aimed at gaining practical knowledge of the installation of windows, the day will include both classroom and workshop training. The day will include an overview of the GGF’s installation guidelines, method statements and risk assessments, alongside the removal and fitting of a window in the purpose-designed facilities.

Building our Skills purpose designed training facilities

Sarah Ball, founder of Women in Fenestration Network, said: “I first saw the training centre at the launch last autumn and I have to say I was massively impressed. Everything is designed for trainers to teach small groups of 6 to 8 people. Plus, having the classroom and workshop in such close proximity means that learners get the most out of their training time.

“Having a training day for women is fantastic. It’s designed to give women knowledge and confidence in the whole process of installing windows. It is a must-have addition for women working in the glazing supply chain, whatever role they have, including customer service, processing, sales or marketing, or working within the companies that manufacture and distribute the many components that make up a window.

“We see the support for WFN by BOS as an indication of the importance that women currently play, and will play in the future, in the industry. And having BOS as our training partner is superb.”

WFN organisers are expecting the first session to be very popular, especially as BOS is hosting the first one for free. Further dates will be added with a day delegate rate of £295.

WFN is proud to have BOS as our training partner

Sarah adds: “BOS is an integral part of training for the industry and WFN is proud to have them as our training partner. We can’t thank the team enough.”

WFN will also be working closely with the team at BOS through their outreach programmes to attract more women into the industry.
