Examples of Spencer Group's commitment includes the 13 apprenticeships they are currently offering to local people in Construction, Design and IT Development. Delivering these apprenticeships in partnership with Hull College is a fantastic way of investing in the local community, whilst also ensuring that future skills gaps are filled through the development of their apprentices.
Spencer Group has also delivered an entrepreneurial programme called 'Blue Sky' in conjunction with CAT Zero which provided local budding entrepreneurs with the opportunity to hone their business skills and develop their business plan.
They offer the Career Advancement Programme (CAP) to staff as a way of offering fast-tracked development to people who want to progress their careers quickly. With coaching and mentoring opportunities available, the CAP is a whirlwind of excitement which allows people to get exactly where they want to be.
