JS Wright and Apprentices J S Wright maintains its excellent standing in the industry and its strong foundations for future growth by recruiting a steady stream of high quality technical and craft apprentices each year. They all become members of the J S Wright Academy, a forum where they can bond with each other, enhance their personal development skills, and absorb our values of integrity, loyalty and quality. The Academy holds a much-anticipated two-day ‘getaway’ meeting each year with the support of our suppliers that typically includes a factory visit with a technical workshop, a hotel stay with award presentations, and outdoor adventure activities such as kayaking and quad biking. Since its launch in 2008 the Academy has attracted more than 50 young people to the building services industry. Membership leads to the opportunity for the most talented to step on to an exciting career path within the company that can lead to director level and beyond. Customers need look no further than J S Wright to find the most highly skilled and motivated workforce in the industry. A healthy mix of youth and experience, coupled with unparalleled personal development training, ensure that our people remain the best in the business. While gaining their mechanical and electrical engineering qualifications, our young people move through our academy system where they develop leadership, team working and networking skills and are nurtured in our values, processes and procedures. Our experience programme helps our technical apprentices become fully rounded engineers, gaining experience in all departments to put them on a career path to becoming our leaders of tomorrow.
