When applying for a Job, what they are looking for isn't certificates, it's experience. The question is, before going in for a Job, which experience do you have regarding that particular Job?. Many people nowadays fall victims because the certificates is their target and they forget to gather experience. #ExperienceLeadsToCompetency# Let's gather Experience in whatsoever thing we desire to do because Experience gives us the individuals competency.

At the weekend the in-laws were picking my brains as they need to replace their shed The other laughed as I reeled off all this information to help them decide between our 4Life and Beckwood shed and which size to go for. Now what I realised is that as much as my true passion is clearly Weddings and Events, I am picking up some great sales skills with my job. Definitely enhanced by the Level 4 Sales Executive Apprenticeship that I undertook. It's made me realise that the sales skills I'm using every day at work, I am not using fully in my business. I know the irony? How many skills do you have that you find yourself not using? . . . . #SalesSkills #TransferableSkills #SalesIsEasy #SellingWithoutSelling

If still open James Mears going for £125.54. Great that you are supporting apprenticeships into your firm - all my own work honest! James Mears, who started his career in logistics at Davies Turner in September 2001, mentioned that his first weekly pay was £1**..**, with the exact amount partially obscured. This suggests that the weekly pay for an entry-level position at Davies Turner in 2001 was likely around £100-£199 per week. It's important to note that apprentice wages have changed significantly since 2001. Currently, the National Minimum Wage rate for an apprentice is £6.40 per hour. This rate applies to apprentices aged 16 to 18 and those aged 19 or over in their first year. For a typical 40-hour work week, this would amount to £256 per week in 2024. Given the significant changes in minimum wage laws and economic conditions over the past two decades, the apprentice pay at Davies Turner in 2001 was likely lower than current rates.

Did you know in the 1800s in order for an apprentice to become 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 they had to join large groups of other hopeful apprentices in massive meeting halls? 😮 They would sit for hours and listen to a 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 who would motivate them and excite them and tell them that once they left the 3 day gathering they would be able to begin working as true Master Teachers - as long as they 𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑫! 😏 Not Really. Because that's stupid and no mildly intelligent apprentice would ever fall for it. Stop listening to the 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 about the event or the mastermind or the "we'll turn you into a best-selling this or that in 3 days" sales gimmicks. Instead, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝. Choose to have someone come alongside you in order to guide you and hold you accountable. We learn by doing more than reading about doing or listening to motivational keynotes about doing. Work takes Work 🛠 ✌ Together We Rise!

Great to reflect on key insights from the recent Bapcor Drive Expo! Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a compelling session led by Martin Storey, Executive GM of Bapcor New Zealand. Joined by panelists Lesley Yates from AAAA and Lee Marshall from MTA, who delved into the evolving dynamics of automotive apprenticeship programs on both sides of the Tasman. One aspect of the discussion was centered around the need for significant reforms in the training frameworks within Australia and New Zealand. Despite the substantial efforts by the previous NZ Government to 'enhance' skills training through initiatives like Te Pūkenga, the automotive industry very much faces a critical shortage of Automotive Technicians. Why should the responsibility of managing apprenticeship programs stand with Government? My experiences with MITO (Motor Industry Training Organisation) highlighted that when industry experts lead the management and oversight of apprentice training programs it yielded effective results. I strongly advocate for the current Government revert to empowering industry professionals to again take the reins. By leveraging our expertise, we can confidently address and overcome the technician shortage in New Zealand. Let’s put trust back into the hands of those who know our industry best! #AutomotiveIndustry #ApprenticeshipPrograms #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkforceTraining #NewZealand

Addressing the skills gap in the construction sector! In a recent conversation with the The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) we discussed the training of apprentices. The conversation highlighted there are so many myths and preconceptions, that include you can only start in September. Training will take two to three years. I was like a kid in a candy shop, when I explained the work that a Devon based independent training provider was doing. They have regular start and end dates. They offer training in both Bristol and Plymouth. They also support many different trades and literally no limits on who can train! Please click the links below and give them a call. Where ever you are based in the UK! There are loads of options towards addrssing skills and training. You definitely never stop learning and an apprenticeship is either a start, a refresh, and in my case a chance to prove my knowledge and skills are strong. #ConstructionTraining #SkillsGap #Rethink.

Check out all the #Apprentices in Santa's workshop!!! You too could have your own set of Elves in your #manufacturing environment Juniper Training Ltd will support with a Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship and here are 3 things we can learn from the Elves and why you need them. 1. Good Work Habits Our sole purpose in life doesn’t have to be building or making projects but sticking to a task and being a diligent worker are admirable traits that we admire in the elves. 2. No Project is Too Big It’s not Santa’s Elves and regular sized people who build the toys, it’s just the elves. That means they must over come challenges in height and size to build their toys. If elves can do it so should we. If a project seems to big physically to handle or you don’t quite have the know how, round up your friends and ask them to help you. 3. Be Efficient Elves don’t have time to waste and over the years they’ve become very good at their jobs. They plan well and keep waste to a minimum. We even wonder if Santa runs an eco-friendly toy factory? He should!
