HGVC Pioneers Groundbreaking Change in HGV Training with Government-Backed Skills Bootcamps

Offering a ray of hope to the transport and logistics industry in the United Kingdom (UK), HGVC is on a journey to help you leverage the government’s assistance in HGV training. Read on to understand how.

 HGVC has announced the expansion of its much-sought HGV bootcamp, which is entirely funded by the UK government. This pivotal step of extending government-funded boot camps for two more years has taken the bull by its horns. It addresses the critical skills shortage in the heavy goods vehicle (HGV) sector by transforming career opportunities for thousands across the UK.

 The Department for Education has provided a grant of £10 million to HGVC to conduct government-backed skills bootcamps. Such grants to HGV driver training organisations help increase road safety, enhance HGV driver skills, and ensure compliance with the regulations. The funds further help with training programmes, integration of new technologies in the business, and providing job opportunities, thereby promoting a safer, more efficient transport sector.

SPONSOR AD

 Over the next two years, HGVC is expected to facilitate training of several thousands of HGV drivers with an objective of closing the skills gap between the basic competency and the emerging opportunities in the transport industry of the United Kingdom. Gary B, CEO of HGVC, said that he is grateful for being accorded the opportunity to make a difference in the transport sector. He says, “These fully funded courses will equip new HGV drivers with essential skills; the programme will also open doors to a lifetime of career opportunities in the transportation industry. More than transforming the industry, the lives of our candidates matter to us.”

 HGVC’s message has resonated with all key players in the UK’s transport industry. Heads of businesses are looking to invest in these training programmes after recognising the value that drivers bring to the business.

 HGVC has joined hands with Youth First, a charitable organisation based in London, to help young people start their careers, or gain professional training in the logistics industry. This solidifies HGVC’s efforts in promoting a supportive and diverse workplace culture.

 “We at HGVC envision a world that we want to build tomorrow based on principles of equality and high performance. Our goal is to create innovations and lead by example. In order to motivate the workforce through motivation, there is a need to complement goals with appropriate training to support the supply chain industry. We are indeed making training come to your doorstep.” said Gary B, HGVC CEO.

 As the industry continues to grapple with an ongoing driver shortage, the expanded HGV Bootcamp programmme, supported by the UK Government, is now looked at as more than just a training initiative. The potential for HGVC to be a transformative force for the logistics sector and the hope that it brings for many looking for substantial, rewarding employment is going to go a long way.
