Investing in our Youth - Why Apprenticeships are crucial for Employees and Employers
Apprenticeships are an ever-growing scheme, that seem to be slowly growing in popularity, amongst both students and employers. Taking your first steps into the business world can be daunting, and for those who are certain university isn't beneficial for them, an apprenticeship can be the perfect opportunity.
Asset Workforce are huge advocates for apprenticeship schemes, due to our first-hand involvement with them. We team members that have stemmed from apprenticeship schemes, and have always seen the benefits for both parties involved. Of course, for those completing the apprenticeship, you; avoid university debt, learn valuable skills and put them into 'real world practice', earn whilst you learn, get one study per week to prepare you for the exams throughout the course and have the opportunity to grow within the company, putting you years ahead of those that have gone to University. There are many more reasons apprenticeships can be appealing for the vast majority. For employers, it's an opportunity get fresh blood into your business. It's crucial that your business evolves with the times, not just from a technology standpoint, but also from an employee standpoint. Bringing younger, less-qualified, ambitious apprentices into your business can rapidly benefit the dynamic of your workplace. You'll be able to mould the apprentice into the perfect employee for your business, guiding them through the early stages of their career as they continuously add value to your organisation. Along with having access to the most dynamic talent on the market, you'll also hugely benefit from the financial aspect of investing in your apprenticeship scheme, with apprentice levy funds playing a huge part in service.
