Commitment to Professional Development
At Intervention Rentals, we take pride in fostering a culture of continuous professional development, and our latest initiative reflects this commitment. We are in the process of registering 10 candidates for a Modern Apprenticeship (MA) in Management at SCQF Level 7. This program is specifically tailored for supervisors and line managers aiming to enhance their people management skills while demonstrating core competencies in management.
Modern Apprenticeship Program Overview
The MA program, spanning 18 months, is a significant investment in our team’s development. Five candidates are set to begin their apprenticeships by the end of February, with another five following in April. This initiative underscores our dedication to equipping staff with the tools and methodologies necessary to thrive in their management careers.
Core and Optional Training Units
The program consists of four mandatory units: developing knowledge, skills, and competence; leading teams effectively; managing people’s performance at work; and ensuring healthy, safe, secure, and productive working environments and practices. Additionally, candidates have the flexibility to select at least three optional units, with the opportunity to complete all six if desired. These optional units include sustaining productive relationships with colleagues, supporting individuals’ learning and development, managing conflict in teams, coaching individuals, communicating information and knowledge, and implementing operational plans.
Recent Training Initiatives
Over the past year, we’ve also introduced two impactful training courses, Having Difficult Conversations and Essential Skills for Managers. With a 75% completion rate so far, we anticipate full completion of these courses by October 2025.
Addressing Skills Gaps
These initiatives reflect our proactive approach to identifying and addressing skills gaps within the organization. While many of our staff have successfully advanced into senior roles through their experience and dedication, we recognize the value of complementing their practical expertise with formal supervisory and management training. By introducing structured development programs, we are ensuring our managers are equipped with the latest tools and methodologies to excel in their roles and drive the organization forward. Additionally, we’ve identified the need for “Train the Trainer” programs and Sales and Account Management training, further reinforcing our commitment to well-rounded professional development.
Technical Excellence
Our technical team continues to excel, with three of our technicians Emerson-trained and two holding Compex Ex01-04 certifications. These achievements highlight the technical expertise and dedication of our workforce.
Strengthening Our Workforce
By investing in our employees’ development, we are not only enhancing individual careers but also strengthening the collective capability of Intervention Rentals. This approach ensures we remain a leader in delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions across the energy sector and beyond.
