Project Renovo

CRS Facility Management are proud to announce Project Renovo which provides a structured training program for individuals wishing to join the industry and for those who are looking to get back into full time employment.

Being the first of its kind within the Facility Management sector in Cumbria, the incentive for creating the work experience training program is to provide a work scheme to help people back to work and gain experience in the Facility Management industry with General Maintenance, System Installs, Grounds Maintenance and Industrial and Commercial Cleaning.

 

How does the project work?

Initially, CRS FM will be working along side a local back to work charity who will be providing four candidates to take part in the project. The candidates are with CRS for four weeks taking part in all aspects of our business. In addition they will form part of a five strong Facilities Team with one integrated CRS Supervisor. This team will be deployed to various local clients to complete tasks at an extremely reduced cost. The project will continue to run throughout the year with new candidates joining every four weeks.

Our aim is to create an increased flow of new business for the team, create sustained employment and provide a skilled work force to local businesses at a fraction of the standard cost.

“We are all extremely pleased to have finalized this project, it has been in the pipe-line for some time now. The idea begin early in 2018 when we noticed three separate issues within our industry in Cumbria. These included staffing, affordability for local business and the amount of unemployed people within the area most of which were skilled individuals operating on seasonal work. We began to think how we could run a project to address these issues and be beneficial to those wishing to gain work, local business wishing to complete FM tasks affordably and our own company with staffing. Project Renovo was born…”
