It’s National Apprenticeship week this week and whilst I am on the train to London to watch one of my apprentices present at an Apprentice Taskforce event with Davies Talent Solutions at Lloyds of London, I figured it would be a really good time to reflect. Most of my adult life has been spent working in the insurance industry, and completing an apprenticeship of my own really set me up for a successful career in this great industry. I remember being a little unsure about enrolling on an apprenticeship in insurance and why wouldn’t I be. When I was leaving school there was a bit of a stigma around apprenticeships. My understanding of an apprenticeship was that you would be going to work for a local tradesman making cups of tea and doing a bit of labour for minimum pay. How wrong could I be! I decided to go for it, probably for the wrong reasons, as ultimately it seemed the best route to gain my professional qualifications, however what I actually gained was so much more than that. For me apprenticeships are how the insurance industry, and all industries for that matter, will continue to thrive by bringing ambitious individuals into the industry and providing them with not only the knowledge but also the skills and behaviours to drive the industry forward. One of the most rewarding feelings working in this industry is providing my learners with skills and behaviours that are often taken for granted, and watching them grow as individuals. #apprenticeships #Davies #insurance #insuranceindustry #nationalapprenticeshipweek #NAW2024

There are some excellent opportunities available for transferring the apprenticeship levy, suitable for both businesses that do not pay the levy and those that do but have already utilised their full levy pot. Don't let the 5% contribution be a blocker to colleague development. https://lnkd.in/eYBwMtU5 #apprenticeships #learninganddevelopment #training #apprenticeshiplevy
