It's National Apprenticeships Week! This year we have spoken to both current and former apprentices around the business to get insights into their experiences with apprenticeships. We will be posting a new video each day with today's video focussing on the reasons why to choose an apprenticeship. #NAW2024 #SkillsForLife #Apprenticeship #Apprentices #ApprenticeshipWeek #Manufacturing #Engineering #Filtermist #Dustcheck #Kerstar

We had a full house at our Apprenticeship Night! NEWTech hosted representatives from 11 different apprenticeships across the Spokane Region to inform families and students about the various apprenticeship opportunities available after high school. Did you know that NEWTech is a state-registered pre-apprenticeship program for our electrical, construction, and welding courses? This means that students who complete their education at NEWTech have a head start in entering apprenticeship programs compared to those who haven’t completed a pre-apprenticeship program. #connectwithnewtech

Our apprentices are key to our Early Careers Community here at G's and we really enjoy celebrating their successes. Our applications for 2024 Finance and Engineering apprenticeships are now open! (We have had such a busy National Apprenticeship Week that this is the only picture we managed to take!) #NAW2024 #apprentices #earlycareers #gsapprentices #financeapprenticeship #engineeringapprenticeship #careersfairs #gsearlycareers #NAW #nationalapprenticeshipweek

Today’s focus during National Apprenticeships Week is ‘Employer Tuesday’ so we headed over to Roxane UK in #Lichfield, a bottled water manufacturer and distributor, where some of our engineering apprentices from #Cannock College are employed! 💧    Hear from the Plant Manager, as well as some of our apprentices, and see them in action in our latest video!    #NAW #NAW2024 #skillsforlife #apprenticeships #employertuesday

Apprenticeships can be a solid, ongoing tactic to recruiting technicians, but establishing a program can seem daunting. Luckily, there's three easy steps to get started: 1. Figure out where you'll source your apprentices 2. Establish the structure of your program 3. Continue to grow your shop staff And having a strong apprentice program can help attract more people to your shop, as was the case for Sasha Spencer at KTS Enterprise: "[Our apprenticeships] has also been great for retention as well, because I've had some of [our apprentices] say that they were very grateful for the opportunity to learn something, and they're still with us,” Spencer stated. “Some of them have even taken a pay cut to come and apprentice with us.” #truckingindustry #fleetmaintenance #hiring #apprenticeships
