Leading South Yorkshire based recruitment consultancy, Multitask Personnel, has set up a working partnership with Arena Training Centre, one of the regions go-to training providers in the electrical services sector, to offer a joined-up approach to recruitment and upskilling Electricians for EV and Solar PV/Battery EESS installations.
This has enabled Multitask Personnel to offer employers a complete solution to not only recruit, but also upskill key staff as they embrace new roles in the Energy & Renewables, and Mechanical & Electrical sectors.
With rapid growth within these sectors and only a small percentage of electricians being fully trained in Solar/Battery or EV, this is creating a lot of challenges for the industry. This collaboration creates a solution to facilitate the demand from employers, enabling Multitask Personnel to offer a package to recruit qualified electricians who are looking to move into the renewables sector, and upskilling them through the relevant training so they are ready made for the employer to take them on.
Backed up by a new five-step approach, including candidate sourcing, interviewing, identifying skills gaps, delivering training and issuing the relevant certification, this collaboration is designed to ensure that employers can take on employees who are part qualified and upskill them quickly and efficiently to the required level to take on the role.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Arena Training Centre to offer a comprehensive solution for recruiting and upskilling electricians for EV and Solar PV/Battery EESS installations,” said Claire Lee, Managing Director of Multitask Personnel. “This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting businesses in the renewable energy sector by providing them with highly skilled and certified professionals.
“Working with employers in these fast-moving sectors, we’ve identified there are skills gaps that are restricting recruitment so we’re working hand in hand with both the employer and the candidate to overcome these obstacles and make sure that if the candidate is the right fit, they can quickly be upskilled to the required standards.”
Peter Montfort, Director of Arena Training added: “We are excited to join forces with Multitask Personnel. By combining our expertise in training with their recruitment capabilities, we can ensure that businesses receive well-trained, certified electricians ready to meet the demands of the rapidly growing renewable energy market.
