Seetec routeway links PGL with job ready candidates
Seetec has been supporting PGL for many years with its recruitment campaigns across the Southwest.
PGL offer residential and outdoor breaks aimed at children and parents, from camping to canoeing – they have it all.
The most recent collaboration in Swindon comes in the shape of a ‘routeway’, it means that Seetec participants get training, an onsite visit and a guaranteed interview.
Before the PGL routeway, Seetec in Swindon delivered successful routeways with the NHS and childcare providers to help our participants into work.
This PGL routeway includes customer service training with Whitehead Ross Education and employability skills training with the National Careers Service.
Valuable insight
Having completed the training, the participants went on a tour of PGL in leafy Liddington, Wiltshire.
Designed to give an insight to working at PGL, the visit was hosted by their talent acquisition specialist, David and the rest of the Liddington team.
The tour covered the grounds, accommodation, kitchen and dining areas, laundry facilities and communal areas of the activity centre.
It gave the participants a valuable insight about working at PGL and plenty of ideas for filling in their application forms.

Vital interview skills
Eight participants attended, and six went on to apply for their guaranteed interviews.

The employability element of the routeway has helped participants learn vital interview skills before their virtual ones.
After successful interviews, our participants received job offers pending PGL’s security checks.
Four participants have received their start dates already, two start dates are pending those checks.
And even the two participants who were unsuitable for these particular roles have benefited from the learning on the routeway, and are being assisted with finding alternative positions.
