Investing in the future! Our Apprenticeship Academy is in full swing as two first-year apprentices (Brechler and Khalil) get some hands-on training before classes start this winter. Both are now working on job sites, gaining even more experience. This initiative is a key part of our learning and development program, nurturing our next generation of electricians. #ApprenticeshipAcademy #LearningAndDevelopment #HandsOnTraining #FutureLeaders

A HETA apprenticeship involves plenty of hands of learning to allow learners to develop key skills which will ensure they experience a smooth transition into industry. However, another vital aspect of the apprenticeship is learning the theory behind the processes and procedures engineers rely on every single day! This was no different the 80s where we can see HETA apprentices taking to the classroom to consolidate their knowledge! #NAW2024 #EngineeringTheFuture

Apprenticeships can aid employers in providing structured curriculum and skillbuilding not only for long-standing industries, but also for emerging sectors.

The best civil service apprentices will look at the repercussions of bad policy and make submissions to explain catastrophic risks to the Secretary of State. For instance, the civil servants behind the Building Safety Act should have advised the ministers on freeholder insolvency risk relating to them being made liable for huge remediation costs, especially related to the proposed ground rent caps. Maybe the Treasury will take these risks more seriously! Can write round clearance be relied upon Mr Gove? The best way to get your upcoming amendments through is by implementing the Earl of Lytton's buildingsafetyscheme.org and put the backstop in place to ensure you have enough funding to cover all leaseholders caught up in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis

We need to increase the number of electrical apprenticeships in England. We’ve just launched the #ElectricalSkillsIndex. It analyses how many people in England are starting classroom-only courses compared to apprenticeships. We’ve found that many parts of the country are facing a shocking shortage of electrical skills. This shortage has broken our electrical skills circuit! We need to complete this circuit to ensure we have a safe and reliable electrification across England. Find out your constituency’s results in our Electrical Skills Index here: https://lnkd.in/eNkWtCEg

Any recommendations for HGV apprenticeships for 17 year olds? Can find any for below 18 years. We have previously had one that did lots of modules before you get to the driving stages but can’t find it now #apprentiship #HGVtraining 

If you're only hiring and hoping, you're not doing enough. Building successful companies means demonstrating support for growth of crafts skills and professionalism. We all need to invest in that progress. This is one of the core priorities in the collaboration between our unions and our partner employers.

For #NationalApprenticeshipWeek, we are continuing to shed light on the amazing achievements our apprentices accomplish with Switch2. 🌟 Take a look at what Ryan Sheridan, who is currently completing his level 3 apprenticeship in commercial engineering, has to say about his experience with Switch2 so far. #nationalapprenticeshipweek #NAW2024

Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week? So are we, and we wanted to highlight some of the incredible things a handful of Skilltech's customers are doing. ➡️ The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is leading the way in innovating apprenticeships for the electric vehicle revolution - and building inclusivity with the award-winning work of its Diversity Taskforce. ➡️ SIAS is redefining the relationships between AOs, Training Providers and Apprentices, determined to make apprenticeship delivery less 'transactional', and more collaborative. ➡️ Construction EPA Company ® 'all-inclusive' end-point assessment has seen it build assessment centres across the UK to deliver 'in-centre' assessments across a wide range of high-demand construction apprenticeship EPAs. Amazing things happen when we believe in apprentices. Do you have an amazing awarding organisation, training provider or apprentice to shout out? Why not share it with our community? #NAW2024 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #apprenticeships #apprentice #skillsforlife

Check out this video I created where I spoke to current and former apprentices at Filtermist Limited to get an insight into the importance of Apprenticeships and how they provide you with #SkillsForLife and the many benefits apprentices bring to individuals, businesses and communities! #NAW2024
