Carillion helped Rikem deliver the eight-week programme, in which 16 parents from Starbank Primary School took part in training sessions designed to equip them with the skills needed to get back into work.
This included learning about the careers and opportunities offered by the Green Deal, as well as interview practice and help creating a CV.

At the end of the course, six parents applied for
call centre roles with Carillion Energy Services and four of
these have successfully progressed to the pre-employment
programme.
The workshops were organised under the Carillion Energy Services Green Deal Employability Programme, part of the company's contract with Birmingham Energy Savers (BES) to deliver energy services as part of the Green Deal. |
