Timber Industry College Hub Event

The Build Crafts College recently played host to a pivotal event within the Timber Industry College Hub series. NAS member Del Trevillion, representing D2 Design and Build, took the stage as presenter for the day.

This event marked the second of ten gatherings planned in collaboration with the CITB under the IOC’s Mentoring Champions Scheme. This programme, commissioned by CITB, aims to foster knowledge exchange and guidance for aspiring tradespeople.

The NAS & IOC

The event stood as a testament to the partnership between the IOC and NAS, demonstrating our joint commitment to developing the next generation of skilled professionals. These regional events serve as platforms for an exchange of knowledge, networking, and fostering a sense of camaraderie within the industry. The collaborative efforts of NAS, CITB, and IOC signify a unified commitment to nurturing a skilled workforce that will shape the future of the timber industry.

A Day in the Life

Throughout his talk, Del shared insights into his personal journey within the trade, highlighting the skills required for success in shopfitting. Del was able to paint a picture of “a day in the life of a shopfitter”, offering a glimpse into the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the profession.

Get involved

Our mission at the NAS is to promote, support and develop. Del Trevillion’s presentation epitomised the spirit of mentorship and knowledge-sharing that lies at the heart of the NAS. Furthermore, it reflected a broader industry-wide dedication to empowering and inspiring the future leaders of the timber trade.

As the series continues its journey across the country, the IOC and NAS actively seek the participation of NAS members. The events aim to inspire and engage the future workforce by showcasing the richness of career opportunities within the timber industry. We’re encouraging NAS members to express their interest in participating in upcoming events. Members involvement promises to not only ignite passion and interest in the trade among aspiring individuals but also support the dedication of industry experts to mentor and guide the next generation.
