Baxi (Baxi Heating) apprentice service engineers took part in a week-long team building course, designed to develop the next generation of installers, with activities that focused on personal development and problem solving.

The team building program was tailored to Baxi’s visions and values, with apprentices undertaking team-based exercises linked to their Level 3 Domestic Service Engineering apprenticeship scheme.

Team building program for apprentices

During the week spent at SKERN Training & Skills in Devon, United Kingdom, apprentices experienced climbing, rafting, and tunneling. Each practical exercise was designed to help the apprentices improve teamwork, leadership, risk assessment and communication.

Investing in apprenticeships is vital for tackling the skills gap in the UK heating sector"

Krystal McKinnell, Apprenticeships Coordinator at Baxi Heating, said “Investing in apprenticeships is vital for tackling the skills gap in the UK heating sector. By supporting and training individuals throughout their professional journey, we hope to make a difference and give people a head start, as they join the industry.

Teamwork and personal development course

Baxi Apprentice, Liam Bate, said “I really enjoyed the course and built a good rapport with the other apprentices in my group, which is useful as I may end up working alongside them in the future. We all worked well together as a team and identified each other’s strengths and points for development.

Baxi Apprentice, Madison Dowding, said “I enjoyed the teamwork aspect of this course and learned to take other people’s ideas into consideration. I kept my learning log up to date throughout the week and will apply what I learned in my apprenticeship end point assessment.

Training courses tailored to introduce low carbon systems

As well as offering entry-level apprenticeship schemes, Baxi Heating also supports qualified heating engineers with training courses that are tailored towards the introduction of low carbon systems.
