Smithfield Foods’ Post

The recruiting challenges of today are not the same ones faced in years past, but the reality of there being more job openings than skilled workers has been an ongoing concern for decades. The future of manufacturing is dependent on employers like H3 Manufacturing Group, LLC and community advocates like Champaign County Chamber of Commerce , Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, IMEC Illinois and Parkland College partnering to come up with creative solutions.

Webinar next week! Come hear how DeKalb County School District became a registered teacher apprenticeship program in Georgia.

And list goes on and on....#RegisteredApprenticeship offers so many options! One thing to remember though is that there has to be someone to act as a mentor to the apprentice, so if there isn't someone highly qualified to show the apprentice the ropes you may want to wait until there is experienced staff to fill this role. #apprenticeshipworks #talentdevelopment #talentpipeline #workforcedevelopment #skillsdevelopment

When you think of an apprenticeship, what's the first thing that springs to mind? When I was the Apprenticeships and Skills Minister, I always asked people this question, and almost unanimously, their response was a trade or role in the manufacturing or construction sector. As vital as these sectors are, I want to make sure that whatever you want to do, there is an apprenticeship for you. That is why we’ve created apprenticeships for most occupations in the country including, for example, lawyers, accountants and doctors so the traditional university route is not the only way you can achieve your goals. And it's why I'm really proud of the progress we have made since 2010 👇 📈 Delivering nearly 5.6 million apprenticeship starts ✅ Creating 680 apprenticeship standards, with 170 at degree level 🇬🇧 Ensuring nearly 70% of occupations are available via an apprenticeship (for context, in Germany, that number is only 33%) As a former apprentice who is now privileged enough to be the Education Secretary, I am determined to go further. That's why just last year, we put apprenticeships on the university applications website UCAS to make it easier for young people to see what’s available and apply for apprenticeships in the same way they apply for universities. And we are expanding the number of apprenticeships available across even more occupations. It was fantastic to speak at a Bright Blue event on the future of post-16 education at Multiverse yesterday. Bit by bit, we are creating a society where when we think of apprenticeships, the first thing that pops into our minds is broadening opportunities and routes for everyone. #Apprenticeships #Education #Business #Industry #DegreeApprenticeships #FurtherEducation #HigherEducation #University
