🌟 A huge thank you to Dominic Barrow at Contiki for delivering a fantastic webinar presentation to a group of our apprentices! Through Dom's engaging delivery, our team gained valuable insights into Contiki's unique approach to travel, catering specifically to the adventurous spirit of young adults. From exploring exotic destinations to fostering meaningful connections with like-minded travellers, Dom painted a vivid picture of the Contiki experience. Webinars like the one Dom delivered are invaluable to apprentices as they provide a unique opportunity to learn directly from industry professionals. The insights and knowledge shared in these sessions can significantly enhance their understanding of the industry, its trends, and best practices. Moreover, webinars serve as a platform for apprentices to ask questions, engage in discussions, and network with professionals, further enriching their learning experience. These interactions foster a collaborative learning environment where apprentices can exchange ideas, gain new perspectives, and build valuable connections within their field. In summary, webinars play a crucial role in the apprenticeship journey by providing a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application, empowering apprentices to grow professionally and succeed in their chosen industry.

This week sees the start of Scottish Apprenticeship Week. David Hay, Managing Director at Compass Scotland spoke to the The Herald Scotland discussing the importance of these programmes and how are crucial they are for nurturing talent and supporting the Scottish economy. "In our industry, we are barrierless - you don’t need specific qualifications to join as we offer skills training, clear career development pathways, and flexibility. We’re also focused on breaking down preconceptions; encouraging people, whatever their age, background, or industry experience to consider apprenticeship options. We’re committed to tackling social mobility and we truly offer opportunities for all. That’s why Compass Group UK & Ireland launched its Mission to A Million promise, which strives to positively impact the lives of one million people by 2030, including through skills development opportunities. "It is a privilege to support people at all stages with development and provide career opportunities. We're not just investing in individuals; we're investing in the future of Scotland." https://lnkd.in/dy4zZD4Z #teamCompass #Apprenticeships | Apprenticeship Team - Compass Group UK and Ireland

After returning from a rejuvenating week with friends, I'm diving back into work, eager to catch up. Among the highlights of my return was the joy of reading about Mitie's inaugural Apprenticeship Awards. As Penny Mordaunt aptly put it, "Apprenticeships are the backbone of a skilled workforce, providing individuals with the opportunity to learn, earn and contribute to their communities." I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the winners across our business, with special recognition for the outstanding achievements of Keaton Leith and Sam Berry from Mobile Technical Services. Keaton, a Level 3 Refrigeration Air and Conditioning and Heat Pump Engineering Technician Apprentice from Manchester, clinched the top prize for Technical Apprentice of the Year, while Sam, an Operations Manager from Stockport, was rightly awarded Apprenticeship Champion of the Year. Such accomplishments are not just a testament to the hard work and dedication of these individuals but also reflect the exceptional leadership and support provided by Alan Robinson - CIWFM, Head of Operations, and Chris Thompson, Operations Director, of the winning business unit. Having been a technical apprentice myself, I understand firsthand the significance of apprenticeships in laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and career advancement. Indeed, the journey doesn't end with these qualifications; there are always opportunities for further growth, be it through management qualifications or advanced technical training. Business and technical apprenticeships offer a myriad of benefits for both employers and employees alike. From providing a steady stream of skilled talent to fostering personal and professional development, apprenticeships play a pivotal role in driving mutual growth and productivity within the workforce. In the words of Richard Branson, "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to." #mitie #apprenticeships #welldone https://lnkd.in/emJYNtJu

Guess what ⁉ Our annual Young Generation Program is back in Salzburg! 🌟 Our apprentices are diving into interactive workshops to enhance their professional skills and gain valuable soft skills. 💪💼 #quehenbergerlogistics #closetoyourbusiness #redfamily #Qspirit #learningjourney #apprenticeship #younggenerationprogram #ygp #fitforthefuture

We hold a strong commitment to supporting our apprentices. Apleona CEO Dr. Jochen Keysberg FRICS and COO Michael Engel really enjoyed their visit to the apprentices' training shop in April. This year alone, Apleona is training over 500 apprentices in more than 20 different professions. Well trained professionals are essential for Apleona's continued #growth and #success. Training our own young people is therefore an important building block in countering the shortage of skilled workers. We are therefore delighted that so many motivated young people have chosen apprenticeships at Apleona. There are good reasons to train in FM at Apleona: A technical profession in the FM sector is a relatively crisis-proof job. Even when the economy isn't doing so well, the assets in buildings always need to be maintained and repaired. On top of that, our technicians are work every day to improve the environmental performance of the buildings they manage. This is an argument that is winning over more and more young people. Trainees at Apleona are given clear personal development prospects and potential career opportunities during their apprenticeship. And we can offer very varied and interesting tasks in the portfolios we manage. Many thanks to our dedicated trainers and to Claudia Konstas who guide many of our trainees to very good qualifications and contribute to Apleona's success! #ApleonaApprentices #SupportingApprentices #ApleonaSuccess #ApleonaDevelopment

This was a great day with our apprentices! Checking in with them on a one-to-one basis is really important to us as a team - it’s not just about understanding how each apprentice is progressing, but also how they are feeling.   #Apprenticeship #Apprentice #Wellbeing #Progress #TeamIACSTandE #TeamIACS

The Development Company (DCo) host apprentice and graduate residential programmes here at the lodge, and they can last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on your organisations and apprentices needs. DCo will design a bespoke experiential residential programme to develop the core skills you require from your apprentices as they progress within the organisation. These can include a range of subjects including: - Developing their personal impact and brand - Demonstrating personal effectiveness and balance - Building working relationships - Effective communication and message management - The impact of attitude and personal preference style - Influencing and negotiating - Project management skills - Team performance - Decision making and being creative Why is it important to develop your apprentices skills? Investing in the skill development of apprentices not only benefits the individuals themselves but also contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of the organisation. There's a host of benefits including succession planning, talent retention, as well as giving your organisation a competitive edge. Think about it, a workforce with diverse and highly skilled individuals gives a company a competitive edge in the market, enabling them to adapt to changing demands and stay ahead of the competition.

As this week is Apprenticeships Week, we’re highlighting colleagues who chose P&O Ferries to begin or develop a career in their chosen subject. 2023 saw a big increase in colleagues undertaking development #apprenticeships and joining the business as an apprentice. Molly Milne, who joined us as a Legal Apprentice in 2023, had this to say: “The apprenticeship route is a great way to study and still receive a salary at the same time. I learn best with a more hands-on approach and the combination of studying and working during an apprenticeship allows me to apply the theory of my studies to my job role. I really wanted to develop my career in a line of work that interested me, and being offered the employment via an apprenticeship allows me to obtain my qualifications whilst gaining valuable experience, to develop the skills learnt and expand my career opportunities.” Mike Willis is a Crew Development Officer who has been with P&O Ferries for over 30 years – he began a Level 3 Learning & Development Practitioner apprenticeship in 2023 and commented: “I chose the L&D Practitioner, to help focus and finetune the skills I have picked up on the job practically and to gain a formal qualification within this field. The apprenticeship has given me more confidence, knowing that the methods and skills that I use every day can help to make my role easier, to co-ordinate the team and to drive better results. I recommend anyone thinking of an apprenticeship to go for it! It’s never too late to learn and it is great to discover how much you already know which can go towards a formal qualification.” #skillsforlife #naw2024 https://lnkd.in/e8mRTnvX
