In a recent conversation with Pete Connor from Pure Fabs Limited, he explained the positive outcomes from taking on Apprentices and how it has helped the company. Pete's insights highlight how apprenticeships go beyond traditional training—they actively shape the culture and success of companies. #ApprenticeshipSuccess #CareerGrowth #LearnAndThrive #ApprenticeshipJourney #SkillsForLife #UoBGroupApprenticeships #NAW24

Cidori client Pirelli has seen high distinction rates across Lean Manufacturing apprenticeships, delivered to their teams in Carlisle and Burton-on-Trent by our partners at Barnet and Southgate College. We asked Pirelli to comment on how this upskilling has benefited their organisation. To start a conversation on how your team can experience similar benefits just message Paul Woolley FIRP Cert RP or visit us: https://lnkd.in/eVuCHVb9 #apprenticeships #levy #lean #leanmanufacturing #apprenticeshiplevy #continuousimprovement #upskilling

Apprentices come to the workplace prepared to work, learn, and contribute from day one, with structured support from their training providers. At Skern, we can certainly vouch for this one, as apprenticeships aren't about hand-holding; they're about fostering a mutually beneficial relationship where apprentices grow into skilled professionals, and employers gain a dynamic, trained workforce ready to tackle the challenges of today's industries.

It's been National Apprenticeship week this week! 👨🎓 🛠 🚪 🏘 Whilst we have been busy on our socials raising awareness of apprenticeships in the Fenestration Industry, I have neglected to share on here! I want to share how proud I am of the apprentices we have: Jack & Riley & also the wider team that is supporting their journey. 🙏 It is not easy for small businesses to take on apprentices. The time, money & effort required is challenging when you have finite resources.   However, John & I feel the cause & need to support new entrants into the industry is bigger than us & a necessity for installer businesses of all sizes. The skills shortage gets talked about constantly, but it needs action!   So, with Jack due to take his final assessment later this month (we know he can do it) & Riley coming up to 1 year on his journey we can celebrate the efforts & be proud of the installers we are creating for the industry of the future. 💪 If anyone wants to reach out & understand how you go about the process & recruiting & the time & efforts required, please get in touch. It's not easy, but then nothing worth having is, is it?!   #nationalapprenticeshipweek #championingchange #apprenticeships #fenestration #apprenticeshipsfenestration #changingthefaceofdoubleglazing

Expect Distribution Ltd were invited to attend Appleton Academy's 2024 apprenticeship event last night. Appleton is a local school for pupils aged up to 16 years located only 10 minutes from our head office in Bradford. We have supported apprenticeships within the business for a number of years and are always keen to showcase what we have to offer to young adults on our doorstep.   Apprenticeships are important for their role in skill development, workforce enhancement, economic growth, and the overall prosperity of individuals and communities. They provide a valuable bridge between education and employment, benefiting both the individual and the broader society.   It was interesting to receive lots of questions from pupils about what we do and what we had to offer, a favourite one of mine being "What jobs can I do for a 'truck company' that isn't driving a truck?" Great question! The business of logistics, transport and storage is a complex one so we were happy to oblige and delve into the myriad of roles that form our business and how they are all as equally as important.   Statistics show that new apprenticeship starts represented 1.7% of total employees across the UK last year, so clearly a lot of room for improvement. We are proud to continue to encourage apprenticeship participation, either for our current colleagues as personal and career development; or through the employment of young people making their next steps out into the world after school. We must remember, however, that apprenticeships are for everyone of every age, they are not what they used to be!   Reflecting on our stand visitors last night however, we must also remember that the key personal and soft skills that you can learn in an apprenticeship role from being within a supportive work environment is priceless and it is an honour to be able to be a part of someone's life as they embark on their pathway into the working world. #apprenticeships #workforceofthefuture #opportunities #peoplewhoknowcometoexpect

We're backing #NationalApprenticeshipWeek by defying stereotypes and showcasing that apprenticeships are for everyone. Here at Arden, we run a successful #apprenticeship programme offering the opportunity for people of all ages to learn new skills. Arden’s latest apprentices are ANTHONY LYNCH and Steven Thompson, but they’re not the stereotypical school leavers – between them they have already clocked up over 38 years’ service with Arden. We're using the Apprenticeship Levy to upskill our existing workforce, and Steve and Tony are about to start a Level 5 Apprenticeship in Operations and Departmental Management. There is a misconception that apprenticeships are just for school leavers, but they actually provide a perfect opportunity for people in middle-management roles to progress their careers, and for organisations to upskill their leadership team and develop a stronger and more competent workforce from within.

Our programme with ITN Business ‘Apprenticeships: Pathway to Success’, launches tomorrow. The news style programme hosted by Warren Nettleford features Ruth Scarrott, Head of Careers, and demonstrates the value of apprenticeships not only to businesses, but the wider industry as a whole. "In the roofing world, apprenticeships aren't just about learning – they're about keeping our craft strong. Every apprentice adds another layer of know-how to the roofing family, making sure that quality work is part of our legacy. "It's not just a job; it's building a solid future for the roofing industry and the roofs we work on."

While the concept of apprenticeships is often connected with school leavers and early careers, 48% of the apprenticeships started in 2022/23, were by people aged 25 and over, while only 23% were aged under 19.
