ICATS News

The good news is that the market is booming, new projects are on the horizon in Highways, Rail, Nuclear, and with an increase in the oil price which will release funds for projects in the Oil & Gas sector. Unfortunately, there is an anticipated skills shortage, which is where ICATS can help. This is reinforced by Paul Wolstencroft, a Director at Jack Tighe Ltd, who commented “Jack Tighe were one of the early operators to adopt the ICATS Training programme and have just completed their 9 year reviews. We have studied the value of the course and can state that since introducing the ICATS training in 2008 our re-work in 2017 was virtually zero. The work force is happier because they feel even more valued. The saving to Tighe is a substantial amount, and we are planning to strengthen the advantages of the ICATS scheme in the future.”
There are upcoming courses for ICATS Company Trainer and Supervisor at the Correx office in Northampton, or you can use one of the ICATS Approved Training Providers around the country to have your people trained ahead of
the shortage.
