How your Business will Benefit
Build skills for the future, and motivate staff - these are only a couple of the benefits a Apprenticeship can bring to your business. And, the change you'll see will be immediate because Apprentices work and learn at the same time. Find out below what benefits other employers have gained:
-
training directly relevant to your organisation
As part of one of the world's largest water companies, Thames Water is keen to play a role in producing this country's next generation of engineers. By participating in Apprenticeships Thames Water acquires motivated employees with the right mix of tailor-made skills.
John Garth, Thames Water -
skills specific to your industry
By encouraging our employees to take Apprenticeships we are looking after their interests and our own. We are gaining qualified staff who are helping to up-skill the caring profession which improves the standard of care to our clients.
Joan Chappell, HICA Care Homes -
skills to cope with new technology and new markets
Ours is a service and utility company that requires a very particular set of skills and there is a definite career path available. Apprenticeships allow us to feed ourselves with the right people to fill the jobs we know we are going to have in three and four years time. This is definitely our preferred way of achieving this need.
Bob Fox, Western Power -
tackling skills shortages
Apprenticeships play a key role in helping reverse the shortage of trained craftspeople in the UK. Through our involvement with the scheme, we have recruited some talented people who have gone on to make a significant contribution to Hewland Engineering.
Harry Walker, Hewland Engineering -
staff retention
Our Apprenticeship programme allows us to develop our people, it's a good recruitment tool and a retention mechanism. We like what we've got and we're considering expanding it.
Chris Stephenson, Egg -
increased staff confidence and morale
