PSI Global Group launched their new PSI Global Training Limited division in 2023. The division offers the first Train the Painter training facility to be located in Liverpool and the North West and was created to bring high-quality training to individuals and companies.
Following PSI Global Recruitment becoming the first agency affiliate member of Train the Painter in August 2022, the decision was made by Industrial and Marine Director Rebecca Law to start the new training division.
“The idea came from the regular skills gap we were seeing in the Industrial Services sector,” explained Law. “We’re constantly looking at ways we can give back to the communities each of our projects are based in, and this felt like a great way to get more people back into work while giving them the skills needed to start a new career.”
Through the continued support of the local communities PSI Global is involved in came the Community Initiative. The Initiative, which forms part of PSI Global Training, focuses on giving back to these communities while helping to build skills for the future to benefit the local economy. The goal is to create a sustainable and impactful program that empowers individuals and strengthens communities.
The Community Initiative brings together businesses, training, and individuals to address local challenges, foster innovation, and drive positive change. The first session took place in Rosyth and included employability workshops, an induction with our local client, and a five-day Train the Painter course with PSI Global’s own trainer. This was followed by nine weeks of on-the-job work experience.
Train the Painter is part of the Corrodere Academy, with courses designed to give workers the essential skills needed to work on-site as an Industrial Painter. The Train the Painter courses offered through PSI Global Training can be done as a blended learning option (e-learning and practical in-person) or all classroom-based. Additionally, the facility will be used to upskill current Train the Painter cards and run trade tests with our dedicated Train the Painter trainer before sending the workers to site.
The new training division opened their facility in Liverpool in November 2023 and are taking bookings for anyone interested in obtaining their Train the Painter qualifications. From January 2025 they are also able to offer ECITB courses, as well as several additional construction-related courses through a third-party provider.
