Q&A with David Cummings, Survey Manager
Why did you decide to get involved in the “Earn as You Learn” program?
In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, the demand for skilled workers in the field of technology has never been higher. Gulf Operators, like many companies, is grappling with the need to cultivate a workforce that can tackle the challenges and opportunities presented by the current construction industry.
The establishment of Marshall Skills Academy and the introduction of the Earn as you Learn program represents a vital step towards addressing this need and fostering the growth of skilled workers in New Brunswick, while allowing the students to continue receiving a wage and thus opening the opportunity of learning to those who have already established a family and financial responsibility at home.
What do you hope the impact of the program will be on your organization?
Marshall Skills Academy is poised to play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of skilled workers in New Brunswick. Through its innovative curriculum and strong industry partnerships, the Academy is well-positioned to meet the ever-growing demand for professionals.
At Gulf Operators, we believe that our partnership with Marshall Skills Academy will help us prepare our current employees for the next steps of their careers, thus helping us retain, grow, and attract new talent by showing our commitment to their development.
