Trouble Hiring Skilled Groundworkers Today? 🌍 The construction industry in the UK is increasingly grappling with a significant skills shortage, making it challenging to hire skilled groundworkers. With fewer young people entering the trade, an ageing workforce, and the high demand for construction projects, the gap between supply and demand is widening. It's crucial for construction companies to invest in training programmes and apprenticeships to attract and retain talent. Let's tackle this issue head-on by creating opportunities for the next generation of groundworkers. What strategies have worked for you in addressing this skills gap?

I recently attended and successfully completed the "Get that Job: Webinar Series" by The Edinburgh Napier University. The session provided valuable insights into enhancing employability and gaining experience in the professional world. A great opportunity for students to learn from designated delegates in their respective fields. #EdinburghNapierUniversity #ProfessionalDevelopment #WebinarSeries #Employability #CareerInsights

Level 2 business apprenticeships offer opportunity for younger, less qualified candidates. They also feed into higher apprenticeships later on. Where would organisations be without these roles? They provide the backbone to organisational success. Core competency training is essential to help these employees achieve their full potential. Help bring back this important apprenticeship! It is a first step on the ladder for many employees. Complete the survey to have your say. Deadline 27th September. #apprenticeships #training #levy #degreeapprenticeships

Does your workplace support Apprenticeships? If so, you may want to add your thoughts to this survey: The proposed level 2 administration assistant standard has been designed as an entry level occupation across functions and departments within an organisation.  It is anticipated that, if approved, it will be developed alongside the planned revision of the level 3 business administration standard to ensure clear and distinct differentiation between the two standards. If you would like to add your workplaces thoughts to this proposal - please fill the form in below. If you have questions please reach out to Lucy Hunte who is part of the Trailblazer Group leading this project. #apprenticeships #socialmobility #entrycareers
