An exciting opportunity from the Martin Group of Companies for an #apprenticeship in social value and sustainability. I thought it might be helpful to provide an insight into what social value and sustainability mean. They're big concepts with varied definitions depending on who you talk to! What is social value? According to Social Value UK it is any activity that moves beyond money as the main indicator of value. In my opinion, it can be defined as the good deeds we do individually, collectively, as employers and as a wider society that make a positive impact on someone else's life. These good deeds typically bring value to our community (whether that be where we live, where we work or where we socialize) and the environment. It covers everything from volunteering activities to wellbeing pledges to reducing your carbon footprint. What is sustainability? This is about making better choices now, that meet the needs of our clients and customers whilst trying to avoid compromising the world we leave behind. It's about finding viable ways to fuel our vehicles without relying on the planet's resources, or actively working to solve the skills gap and creating a long-term, maintainable succession plan. Where this role comes in is coordinating and contributing to social value and sustainability goals, and more importantly, defining and measuring the impact and using it to make better decisions in the future for employees, customers and communities.

Is a 2-Year IT Diploma Worth It with Entry-Level Job Concerns? Answers: https://lnkd.in/gDcAJRvs #ITDiploma #EntryLevelJobs #CareerAdvice Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving into the world of IT lately and I need your thoughts. With so many people sporting degrees struggling to land interviews for entry-level roles like help desk positions, I'm starting to wonder: Is it still worth spending 2 years getting a Diploma in IT? Or is that just a waste of time considering so many entry-level jobs now prefer Bachelor's degrees? 🤔 Here are a few points I've been thinking about: Job Market Realities: It seems like even graduates with Bachelor’s degrees are having a tough time securing interviews. This makes me question the value of spending 2-4 years studying, especially when entry-level roles are becoming increasingly competitive. Industry Demands: The IT field is ever-evolving. Are employers really looking for that physical piece of paper, or are they more interested in skills and hands-on experience? Alternative Paths: Apprencticeships, certifications, and self-directed learning are other routes people are choosing. Are these more effective in today’s job market? ...

How time is flying!!! It's now coming up to exactly 3 months this Friday since I along with the rest of my colleagues were made redundant. This is the lowest and most frustrated I've ever felt trying to secure a new role to the point its making me feel unemployable and what am I going to do now which is ridiculous given my experience gained over almost 8 years in the sector. I've never been this long out of work, nor have I had as many applications rejected or interviews without securing a role based on not having managed clients within specific sectors. Before joining GKA I hadn't any experience of Telecoms yet I managed 1 client for almost 4 years that grew to be the company's single largest employer for new starts year on year with the highest success rate. I managed the programme to within an inch of its life to make it the success it was. This was down to my drive, professionalism, management, communication and ability to forge professional and personal relationships with leaders and mentors. Every Friday I would have a catch-up meeting with my manager and every week he'd say "I've nothing to say Rich you've got everything in-hand". You can learn a new sector, you can learn a new standard so employers/recruiters please don't overlook good people who have experience, the personality and figures to back up their success. Hiring managers, have a conversation around the CV, talk about the candidates experience, challenges, figures, success and let it flow naturally so you get to see that persons passion for what they do and why they do it, not asking 5-point competency questions which let's be honest make most people uncomfortable and is so robotic! There are only so many jobs around the house that need doing and box sets you can watch and I'm more hungry than ever to get back doing what I love and seeing learners achieve. If you are a training provider currently looking for a Relationship Manager/Programme Manager or maybe its something you don't currently offer but would enhance your offering as a training provider, or a recruiter currently working with a client please do review my profile which highlights my experience and feel free to reach out to discuss any suitable position on 07702 555761 or jacksonrichard10@yahoo.com. #OpenToWork #NewOpportunities #Apprenticeships #RelationshipManager #ProgrammeManager #LetsTalk

FIND | Creating Futures recently helped a large Apprenticeship ITP hire two Account Managers. One of the candidates kindly wrote a review which I was thrilled to read! For those who work with us, you’ll know we put equal emphasis on the outcome i.e. filling the job, as we do the overall experience both our clients & candidates receive. It’s always reassuring that we’re following through with our key company values! "James reached out to me for a role and was clear, friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable on the role, business and sector. He didn’t try to convince me or “sell” to me, he simply looked at my experience, had a conversation and then at my request put me forward. One thing I found very refreshing is that he approached me for a role that was actually relevant to my experience. Far too often have I been approached by recruiters for roles that have no relevance to my experience and just matches a few buzzwords on a LinkedIn search and they blindly reach out. My experience here was the complete opposite and I ended up being offered the role I applied for. I would have no hesitancy whatsoever in recommending James and FIND to anybody in the apprenticeship sector looking for a new role". If you’re a training provider looking to recruit and need help, this is the type of candidate experience we provide whilst representing your brand. To discuss how we can help with any upcoming hiring needs please get in touch: james.ellis@wearefind.co.uk Jack English Ryan Hammond Jamie Harding Jordan Whiteley Aishah Wicken Louise Ness CertRP Amy Mason Leoni Stevens Charley Loughrey Courtney Bradshaw
