As #NationalApprenticeshipWeek concludes, allow us to introduce Matthew and Nathan, the dynamic duo of Trainee BIM Technicians based in our Warrington office. Both Matthew and Nathan were attracted to Wallace Whittle because our programme offered a practical route to gain knowledge and skills while earning a wage, a departure from the conventional educational route. Their apprenticeships have provided direct exposure to real-world scenarios and projects, with hands-on experience. Matthew, sharing his advice for aspiring apprentices, said, "If you’re like me and prefer a more hands-on approach to learning, you should definitely consider the apprenticeship route. I think it’s a great way to start your career in a more practical and efficient manner." Nathan, who valued gaining work experience and life skills, noted, "For someone who didn’t want to go back into education, this was perfect as it allowed me to gain work experience and life skills while also still having an income." If you are eager to jump straight into the workforce, Wallace Whittle has apprenticeships tailored for you. Opportunities to learn and experiences to be gained await you at every turn.

Although the pilot of 13 initial standards in phase one is quite narrow, what is encouraging is that capital investment is being supported as part of this pilot funding - and is open to all provider types and not just colleges. This is something AELP has been calling for and we are pleased this has been recognised by DfE and HMT - I know Ben Rowland has heard this a lot on his AELP CEO Roadshows from ITPs, so it's great we've made some tangible progress on this important matter. ITPs deliver the majority of apprenticeships, so we welcome this agnostic approach to extra funding to support growing additional capacity in apprenticeship programmes. #Apprenticeships #Funding #Capital #GrowthFund #AskAshworth #SpringBudget24 https://lnkd.in/eVTur62G

“Setting up an apprenticeship scheme is typically costly and time-consuming; our Managed Apprenticeship Scheme completely removes those barriers and enables our apprenticeship partners to gain value from their apprentices from day one” Karen Barnacle, Group People & Culture Manager. Launching an apprenticeship scheme is easier said than done. Appointing an apprentice is one thing, but maximising the opportunity takes time and resources you may not have in abundance. That’s why we’re pleased to launch our Managed Apprenticeship Scheme. Why use our scheme? ⭐ We take full responsibility for the training of your apprentices for the duration of the 3-year scheme ⭐ We have an experienced, expert team, looking after the education, pastoral and mentoring needs of every single apprentice ⭐ All training, enrichment and social activities are included within the fees with no hidden costs ⭐ The JCB Academy is our chosen education partner – guaranteeing a first-class experience in the classroom and at The HEX Group ⭐ Ongoing and structured support from our team to ensure you’re fully prepared to embrace the opportunity apprentices will bring to your business We are hosting a launch event on September 11th, in collaboration with Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, to introduce our expert team and tell you how we can help you maximise apprenticeships. You can register for this event here: https://ow.ly/5Zzn50T1Zoq We launched our own Apprenticeship Scheme in 2010 and successfully trained over 150 young people, which is why we’re now opening our doors to other engineering and manufacturing businesses to take advantage of our Managed Apprenticeship Scheme.
