Have you had the opportunity to check out our 2023 Insights Report yet? Another significant finding highlighted in our report is the importance of soft skills. As part of our research, we asked our apprentices to identify three skills they have developed during their apprenticeship programme so far. Beyond the essential technical knowledge specific to their jobs, many apprentices noted the improvements in their communication and confidence levels since starting their apprenticeship journey with GLP Training. While apprenticeships are primarily designed to provide qualifications in specific fields of study, our programmes at GLP Training go beyond this. We foster transferable soft skills that have a lasting impact beyond the apprenticeship period. It's gratifying to see our apprentices recognising this aspect.

WTF is up? ⬇️ I read a recent briefing by the American Institute for Research (AIR) which stated that the completion rate for apprenticeships in the US averages around 35%. It cites several factors in depth but the following points stuck out to me: - Challenges related to apprentices’ experience in the workplace environment. - Factors concerning the classroom instruction component of the apprenticeship program. - Challenges related to the financial security of apprentices and program costs. - Personal and life challenges faced by apprentices during their program and access to support services.

Did you know that in most cases there is no employer NI at all for apprentices under 25? The saving can amount to several thousand pounds per apprentice. This exemption applies to recruited apprentices, as well as existing staff undertaking apprenticeship qualifications. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/esJ8GDit #nationalinsurance

Another good reason to support apprenticeships for both developing existing staff, and growing new talent - no Employer NI for students under 25! Read all about it in our article here;
