I was trying to find something witty to justify this post - I couldn't, so here it is, I'm just bragging a bit. Whilst all of the political uncertainty has been happening for the last three months we have continued growing YFM Equity Partners, and supporting more Entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. - We have completed 3 new investments Fuuse, Spotless Water and Ohalo. - Had 5 new people join the team: Christina Tymviou, Jack Redwood and Oliver Wheatley joining as Investment Managers, Francesca Barnes as Origination Manager, and Michael Newton as Rev Ops Manager to support our portfolio companies on their growth journey. - A great exit for one of our portfolio - 3 Students starting their summer placements across our Manchester, Leeds and London offices - we work with SEO London https://lnkd.in/dXsVes-Z to find students from under represented backgrounds. - And, perhaps my favourite bit: 5 internal promotions: Jen Townshend and Roshan Puri join the YFM Equity Partners Partnership, Laura Wiggins (née Sisson) moves up to Investment Director, Katie Jade Harrison and Callum Long both promoted to Investment Manager. We cannot ignore the macro uncertainty in the market right now, but we do know that Entrepreneurs are still building great businesses and if you are looking for Capital to help you do that - either to go faster to buyout existing shareholders - then we would be keen to see if we can help.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the #construction industry, #apprenticeships stand as beacons of opportunity. At M. Davis & Sons, Inc., apprenticeships aren't just a program but a cornerstone of their #workforcedevelopment strategy, driving innovation, productivity, and empowerment within the team. As CEO Peggy DelFabbro puts it, "Graduation from an apprenticeship program is just as important and meaningful as that of a college graduation." https://lnkd.in/es5UHWZR #DelawareBusiness #DEBiz

🚨 Invitation: Employer Skills Round Table Discussion 🚨 As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of apprenticeships, now is a crucial time for employers to stay informed and engaged. Following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent Labour Party Conference speech, it is clear that changes are on the horizon for apprenticeship funding. The government has signalled an intention to reduce support for Level 7 Apprenticeships, asking employers to invest more in younger workers. At the University of Exeter, we are committed to supporting businesses in building their emerging talent pipelines bringing young people into organisations supported by apprenticeships. Our Degree Apprenticeship programme have 30.2% more young people enrolled, compared to all Higher Education Institutions in England (according to Office for Students data). This is a pivotal moment for employers to reflect on how these changes could impact your strategies for both attracting new talent and upskilling your existing workforce. 🗣️ Join us for our upcoming Employer Skills Round Table to discuss: The potential impacts of the new funding reforms and how to continue leveraging apprenticeships as a key strategy for workforce development. 📅 Date: Wednesday 16th October 📍 Location: Glazier Hall, 9 Montague Close, London SE1 9DD 🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/e-ACMr8U RSVP today and secure your place in this vital conversation. Let’s shape the future of skills development together.

Investing in our future includes finding meaningful ways to engage summer students in employment opportunities that teach them skills that are not necessarily covered in class. Soft skills like negotiation strategies, rapport building & analytical thinking. Companies often find taking on summer students a time commitment but the returns they provide to an organization should be viewed as time well spent. At CISL, we believe investing in our future includes investing the time in training our next generation of leaders. I encourage all companies who hope to survive to include summer students in their business plan

"The bold model that businesses are the customer, workers are the product, and communities are the manufacturer." is one of many insights gained by attending the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) Business Service Academy's Registered Apprenticeship breakout session. Dr. Justin Arnold, PhD, the Director of the Local Workforce Innovation Area 17, actively learns best practices and collaborates with workforce professionals to continue growing apprenticeships in his region. #ApprenticeshipIL

I joined Raleigh Chamber this morning for our community success forum! The forum provided a deep dive into the latest Regional Skills Analysis (RSA), a survey of nearly 1,000 businesses across the greater Triangle region powered by RTI International. The study uncovered local businesses' short- and long-term hiring needs, the training and education levels employees need for future jobs, and whether employers plan to expand their workforce. Some of the highlights: 1. The Triangle expects future growth across most industries & sectors, with the most significant growth expected in the public sector, healthcare, and professional services. 2. Triangle employers identify housing, childcare, and wages as the most challenging obstacles in recruiting & retaining talent today. 3. Durable, essential, or commonly referred to as "soft skills" remain difficult to find amongst job seekers & employees. The four most significant soft skills barriers identified include: responsibility and self-discipline, critical thinking, communication, and taking initiative. 4. Employers are starting the process of "developing" talent earlier through formal internships, apprenticeships, and career & technical education (CTE). 5. Today, there is a shortage of higher education faculty. A remedy to the problem is leveraging industry practitioners who bring real-time experiences to the classroom. There are efforts to create pathways from industry into the classroom through teaching. Today was incredibly informative, and it was wonderful to hear top talent headlines impacting the Triangle. ❓I'm curious about what you may be hearing or seeing as it relates to workforce demands in your regions?
