Skills training and the Bidvest Academy

Many Bidvest divisions are industry leaders in education and training. Bidpaper runs an in-house training academy while McCarthy Automotive Artisan Academies are major contributors in efforts to overcome motor industry skills shortages.

Executive training and mentorship of approximately 60 young executives per annum is ongoing through the Bidvest Academy, now in its eighth year. Certificated training programmes were launched in Australia. The First for Service training initiative, originally developed at 3663 in the UK, has been expanded to include our South African businesses.
