"You're Hired" - PHS Maxitech partners Southgate College in Apprentice scheme
10 January 2012
PHS Maxitech, PHS's North London based IT recycling company, is one of the UK’s leading providers of secure recycling, reuse and refurbishment services for redundant IT equipment.
Operating since 2003, Maxitech provides award-winning solutions for organisations to dispose of their redundant IT equipment, in accordance with legislation and the WEEE Directive. PHS Maxitech, reconditions the computers and donates them to charities and voluntary groups, rather than disposing of old equipment into landfill.
Maxitech has been working alongside local colleges to help train unskilled workers, providing them with an opportunity to get into the IT Industry. Maxitech currently has four successful employees who started with the company as apprentices (Gokhan Akbas, Nathan Patrizi, Michael Lansbury and Jacob Soultanian).
Success Stories
Gokhan Akbas, started a formal apprenticeship in IT, after which, with his newly gained knowledge and skills, he was offered permanent employment as an IT Technician, before being promoted to the role of Production Manager.
Nathan Patrizi became an apprentice because he wanted to improve his skills and knowledge. After completing his apprenticeship programme, he was employed as an IT Technician at PHS Maxitech and has since been promoted to Team Leader.
Michael Lansbury started working at PHS Maxitech on a 2 year Apprentice program in 2008 and has vastly improved his knowledge and skills during the apprenticeship. All the team at Maxitech are very happy with Michael’s performance, and he has recently completed his apprenticeship. He is currently working as IT Technician with the company.
Jacob Soultanian was studying for a Foundation Degree in IT at Southgate College when he started the Apprenticeship. After completing his course at College, he started employment with PHS Maxitech as an IT Technician.
