Do you🫵think that #Apprenticeships need rebranding?👀 #Apprentices in the #Metals sector are vital for giving all new talent entering the industry the hands-on skills to pursue a successful career, and should be about developing future leaders. The recent The Metal Guys Talk Business podcast held at the #ALFED HQ in Daventry discusses the role and need for apprentices in the metals sector in more detail, so listen now to find out more➡️https://lnkd.in/eGhFc3hH ✅Also, listen out for a sneak peek of the inaugural ALFED Apprentice of the Year Award, launching at this year's #ALFEDAnnualDinner at the De Vere Beaumont Estate, Windsor on Thursday 28th November!🙌 #Podcast #ListenNow #UKManufacturing #NewSkills
🚨 Are apprenticeships undervalued in today’s market? 🚨 🎙️ This clip comes from the debrief from the bonus episode of The Metal Guys Talk Business with Aluminium Federation (ALFED). Michael Bolton and Peter Comerford are tackling the idea that apprenticeships need rebranding. We often hear that the word “apprenticeship” is tied to outdated perceptions – but why? 🤔🔧 The truth is, that many people associate apprenticeships with cheap labour, but that’s far from the reality of what they offer. 💼💪 Apprenticeships aren’t just about filling entry-level roles—they’re about developing future leaders. 🌟 By investing in apprenticeships, companies are shaping the next generation of skilled professionals who drive innovation in our industries. 🚀 It’s time to change the conversation and recognise apprenticeships for what they truly are: a pathway to long-term success and growth. What do you think? How can we rebrand apprenticeships for the next generation? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 💬👇 🔗 The episode link will be in the comments! *** SEASON THREE of The Metal Guys Talk Business is sponsored by: TW Metals Europe & SEA, a stockholder and distributor of Nickel Alloy, Aluminium, Titanium and Stainless Steel products in a range of forms including Tube, Bar, Pipe, Extrusion as well as Sheets and Plates SteelBuy, a digital platform revolutionising the way businesses trade metal products online Comton Group Limited, a recruitment agency Powering Employment in the Metal, Manufacturing and Engineering sectors.

Would you get put off by a business's appearance?👀 The recent The Metal Guys Talk Business podcast hosted by Peter Comerford, Michael Bolton & #ALFED CEO, Nadine Bloxsome reveals all about how we need to go about attracting young, new talent to the #Metals sector, and the role that #Apprenticeships play in this.🙌 Listen to the full podcast now➡️https://lnkd.in/eGhFc3hH Comton Group Limited #Podcast #Apprentices #ListenNow #Aluminium #UKManufacturing
❓Does a business’s appearance matter? 🎙️ This clip was taken from the debrief between Peter Comerford and Michael Bolton in our latest bonus episode with Aluminium Federation (ALFED). We often underestimate how much a company’s physical appearance impacts how potential employees and clients perceive the business. It’s not just about a clean office—appearance speaks volumes about the organisation’s culture, standards, and attention to detail. 🏢✨ The environment you create is a direct reflection of the values you uphold. 🏆 🎯 Here’s the real takeaway: A messy, outdated workspace 🛠️ may reveal more about your internal processes than you think. It’s not just about first impressions with clients—what message are you sending to your employees? 👥💼 If appearance isn’t a priority, what other important aspects might be overlooked? 🤔 Share your thoughts below! 💬👇 🔗 The episode will be linked in the comments! *** SEASON THREE of The Metal Guys Talk Business is sponsored by: TW Metals Europe & SEA, a stockholder and distributor of Nickel Alloy, Aluminium, Titanium and Stainless Steel products in a range of forms including Tube, Bar, Pipe, Extrusion as well as Sheets and Plates SteelBuy, a digital platform revolutionising the way businesses trade metal products online Comton Group Limited, a recruitment agency Powering Employment in the Metal, Manufacturing and Engineering sectors.
