Empact Technologies’ Post

As I’m sat here doing some prep work to welcome our 2024 cohort of apprentices at Carbon3, I’ve just taken a moment to reflect on our recruitment strategy. Questions we’ve asked ourselves before committing to our plan: - are we committed to investing in the growth of entry-level talent? - Or are we simply looking for someone at an entry-level salary? These two approaches come with very different outcomes. At Carbon3, we’re proud advocates of apprenticeships—many of our team members began their careers this way. We understand that apprentices may not immediately deliver at full capacity, but with the right support, guidance, and time, they can grow into some of the most dedicated and high-performing members of the team. For those who recently completed their A-levels and didn’t get the grades you were hoping for, apprenticeships can be a fantastic option. Apprenticeships offer a pathway to gain valuable experience, earn a salary, and develop skills that will set you up for long-term success in your career. Our commitment to apprentices doesn’t end with hiring. We ensure every apprentice has a clear learning and development plan, supported by quarterly reviews to track progress and provide ongoing mentorship. This ensures they have the tools and encouragement needed to thrive, making apprenticeships a key part of building our future talent. As we gear up for the 2024 intake, we’re excited to continue nurturing and training the next generation of skilled professionals at CARBON3. If you or someone you know is interested to learn more about our apprenticeship program, please feel free to reach out. #Apprenticeship #RenewableEnergy #Carbon3 #SolarPV #ASHP #InvestingInOurPeople

Navigating the complexities of apprenticeship compliance can be a daunting task. But by understanding and meeting the prevailing wage requirements, companies can maximize IRA incentives and help pave the way for a skilled and diverse workforce. Ensuring prevailing wage compliance and adherence to the required percentage of apprenticeship labor for project construction and repairs during the ITC or PTC period is essential. Working with staffing companies is a huge ingredient for success in reaching the new 15% apprenticeship requirements set in 2024. We also understand there may be trades where apprentice availability is scarce, and there is a need for workforce development. In such cases, we conduct a thorough search for qualified apprentices willing to undertake the role and look to collaborate with local organizations as much as possible. If, after all of our efforts, apprentice labor doesn't exist in certain trades, Empact will assist with obtaining waivers required to reduce or eliminate the financial penalties for failing to meet apprenticeship requirements. Overall, we recommend a collaborative approach, being intentional in maximizing workforce development in communities to create a ripple effect of growth in our developing industry.

FAQ Question: Do apprentices get paid? Answer: YES! "Earn while you learn" is like the superhero version of education, where apprentices are not just saving the world of knowledge, but their wallet too! 🦸♂️💰 Apprentices are treated the same way normal employees are, they are given an employment contract and paid by the employer. At the moment, minimum wage for an apprentice is £5.28, this is due to rise as of the 1st of April to £6.40 per hour. Something else to consider, if you start an apprenticeship at age 19 or over, the wage rises to the national minimum wage for your age band after you have been on program for 12 months. It's the magic formula where you dive into real-world experiences, pick up valuable skills on the job, and, drumroll, get paid for it! No need to choose between gaining practical skills and earning a living. You're basically a knowledge ninja, stealthily acquiring expertise while your bank account does a happy dance. althaus #apprenticeships #digitalmarketing #digitalskills #digitalskillsgap
