PSI Global Is First Recruitment Agency Affiliate Member of Train the Painter

PSI Global Group Limited (PSI Global) have been named as the first agency affiliate member of Train the Painter. The acclaimed programme is known as, “the world’s leading industry recognised and fully accredited Industrial Coating Applicator Training Programme.”

Being an affiliate member of the programme will allow PSI Global, a UK-based recruitment agency, to provide their own training to the workforce on a number of their projects. The aim is to give the current workforce an opportunity to upskill while giving potential workers in the local community the assistance they may need for a career change.

“This is a big step forward for PSI Global and our commitment to putting our workforce first,” said Divisional Manager Rebecca Law. “Being an affiliate member of Train the Painter allows us to provide training to our workforce as and when we need it. It’s a great opportunity for our industrial painters who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to get the certifications necessary to continue their career.”

The training courses are now live, and the recruitment agency has officially enrolled their first three candidates on the programme. They are now completing their online training, and Law shared that the Industrial Services team at PSI Global are looking forward to watching them progress in their careers.

“We are really excited about offering our range of training courses to a new audience through PSI Global, helping to further shorten the skills gap in the industrial services sector,” said Corrodere Academy Commercial Director Lucy Pavia. “Having them on board as our first agency to be an affiliate member is a great step forward.”

Dedication to Upskilling and Training

“We supply some really prestigious sites across the UK and wanted to invest in the communities that we are working in to increase the local workforce in these key areas,” Law explained. “We had initially set up the PSI Training Academy to do our part in trying to reduce the skills shortage and bring more people into the industry.”

The Industrial Services team also has a presence in Portsmouth.
