Midconsort puts £25,000 into academy

MIDCONSORT is investing £25,000-£30,000 in setting up a state-of-the-art training academy to improve the quality of agency staff and help solve the current recruitment crisis.

Managing director Charles Eftichiou said the idea was to allow agencies to find untrained staff they wanted to recruit and send them to the academy.

“As an industry we have a problem with the quality of staff and recruitment,” he said.

Courses will aim to improve staff knowledge, service and the profitability of each agency.
