We are delighted to announce that as part of our BT / E Skills project to develop and deliver the Gold Standard in IT Apprenticeships, we have reached a further important milestone.
Another 101 IT Apprentices have been recruited onto the scheme in the past two months, all of them gaining employment with local employers; supported by our team of Recruitment executives.
At a time with a national DECLINE in the number of young people taking up Apprenticeships, this is a fantastic achievement with over 80% of their employers being from the SME community.
Peter Marples commented ‘ without the dedication of our teams across the country, and the support of both E: Skills and BT, we would not have been able to achieve this milestone and I personally thank them for their consistent commitment and hard work. Of special importance are the employers who have committed their time and resources to employ these young people and to give them their first chance in a career. Finally to the Apprentices themselves who are working hard, not only to achieve their qualification but to establish themselves with their employers and move forward in their careers. In excess of 200 jobs have been created in the past four months on the GOLD STANDARD scheme, all of these jobs being created by enthusiastic employers wanting to give young people a chance. There is some financial support available for employers (subject to Government conditions) which can mitigate some of the intial wage costs of the Apprentices. Many employers are now coming back to us for further recrruits given the success of the programme and the high calibre of young people recruited onto the programme.
We have set ourselves a further milestone of recruiting a further 125 Apprentices onto the GOLD STANDARD IT Apprenticeship programme before the end of April which will take our total number on the scheme to over 325. We are well on our way to achieving this further milestone. If you are a budding Apprentice or Employer wanting to engage with us on this exciting programme, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07979 857438’
