Relaunch of GFSL apprenticeship programme

Gov Facility Services Ltd (GFSL) is proud to announce the restart of our apprenticeship programme, helping people to develop their skills and careers at the Ministry of Justice-owned company that supplies prison maintenance services.

Up to 24 apprenticeships will be on offer as Level 3 Electrical Engineering Apprentices or Mechanical Maintenance Engineering Apprentices in the company that works across 48 prisons in the South of England .

The start of our programme was delayed from the spring, due to COVID. However, we’re delighted that we’ve overcome all obstacles and resumed the programme before the start of the academic year.

Recommencing in August 2021, we’re running the programme with multiple training providers at locations close to the apprentices’ place of work.

GFSL Chief Executive, Paul Ryder, said:

I’m thrilled to be announcing the launch of our apprentice programme today (16 August 2021). Our first cohort of eleven are joining GFSLto gain technical skills and qualifications that are relevant to our organisation and the FM industry. On completing the 3-4 year programme, the apprentices will qualify with a Level 3 Certified in Electrical Engineering or Building Services Mechanical.

Finally, I wish them every success in their journey and applaud the resilience they have all shown in staying loyal to their commitment throughout the pandemic.
