With National Apprenticeship Week 2015 fast approaching, 3aaa Co-owner, Di McEvoy-Robinson and Apprentices Jordan Hopkinson, Ben Harvey and Ellie Dyson spoke to Neale Lewis of Derby Business TV about their experiences of Apprenticeships.

Inspiring young people is key to their development as they start their Apprenticeship journeys. At 3aaa, we ensure that all of our Apprentices are able to realise their potential and succeed in a business and provide young people throughout the country with guidance and open their eyes to alternative options other than the University route.

Do not be told that you have to go to sixth form or college to get into university to get a good job; an Apprenticeship will kick-start your career and still gives you the opportunity to get into university with both the financial backing and experience of working for two years prior.

We work with young people and employers to deliver life changing employment opportunities and provide outstanding teaching, learning and assessment and we provide this to every person that we work with.

Di McEvoy-Robinson, 3aaa Co-owner commented “Now is the time to start an Apprenticeships and earn whilst you learn. As National Apprenticeship week approaches, 3aaa has over 600 live vacancies across the country, so it is an ideal time to contact us and gain experience, qualifications and an exciting future”.

On Tuesday 24th February, the 3aaa Derby Academy hosted a Bondholders event in partnership with Marketing Derby.

Ever since opening the Derby academy, we have had close ties with Marketing Derby and the Bondholders group. The event was designed to showcase the core curriculum areas as well as linking into the positive change and growth in the Derby area since we opened the Academy’s doors.

A keen advocate of 3aaa, Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s Ryan Duckett showcased two of their excellent apprentices Neil Bates and James Greenfield and spoke about their Apprenticeship journey and how 3aaa have offered them pivotal support throughout. Neil is due to embark on a 10 day training camp in Abu Dhabi with the cricket club and will be covering all aspects of the teams preparation, games and interviews, making him a excellent advert for the power of sport and the key part it plays in inspiring young people.

Matthew Elson, Academy Manager for Tamworth and Stoke “3aaa has become the leader in professional services apprenticeships for Derby over a short period of time. The event showcased the best of Derby’s Business community and the importance of understanding the market place. We really do stand out as a positive source of sustainable employment in the Derby area. It was refreshing to see so many individuals impressed with our programmes, team and business as a whole”.

We are delighted to announce that two of 3aaa’s partners have agreed their own partnership together as they both look forward to a prosperous 2015.

ICU IT, an IT support company from the Midlands have been appointed Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s official IT support partner 2015 after their great work in completing the first phase of the IT infrastructure upgrade at the 3aaa County Ground.

Both organisations share an excellent working relationship with 3aaa. We work closely with Derbyshire County Cricket Club and are currently Derbyshire’s first ever stadium naming rights partner as well as the NatWest T20 Blast shirt sponsor. The cricket club have also recruited two 3aaa Apprentices who are both proving to be a huge success. Likewise ICU IT have recruited an IT Apprentice from 3aaa and are very active in sourcing new partners for 3aaa as they share their positive experiences.

Clive Wragg, Commercial Director of ICU IT is delighted with the new partnership “We at ICU IT are very proud and delighted to have completed the first phase of the IT infrastructure upgrade at the 3aaa County Ground. The project was awarded upon the culmination of a very stringent tender process in late 2014 and against numerous competitors, thus confirming our position as the region’s most cost-effective and efficient IT service provider for the SME market.”

On Wednesday 4^th February, our Derby Academy invited Apprentices, members of staff and employers to an exclusive event to help inspire and encourage young women to ‘buck the trend’ and start an Apprenticeship within the technology and finance sectors.

Many young females are reluctant to start an Apprenticeship as they perceive this route into employment as being extremely male orientated. We are glad to learn that this mind-set is changing more and more every day and members of the 3aaa team spoke about this subject passionately to young females who were watching on.

The afternoon consisted of all of the guests enjoying a nice lunch whilst networking and discussing their experiences so far before listening to a variety of different speakers.

Amongst the speakers were 3aaa Co-Director Di McEvoy-Robinson, Regional Manager (Midlands) Dena Wyatt and IT Trainer Rebecca Perkins who all shared their views on strong and inspirational women within the workplace and spoke about their past experiences.

Di McEvoy-Robinson said “The aim of today is to encourage more young females into Professional Services Apprenticeships including IT, Finance and Digital Marketing. More and more females are now getting professional jobs and starting professional careers in what were once male dominated industries”.

Dena Wyatt added to this “We are dedicated to increasing the number of strong minded females within the sectors in which we work. I encourage everyone here to recommend this route into employment to all of your friends as we look for more and more females to take advantage of the life changing opportunities that we offer”.

The event received excellent feedback from the young people and Employers alike and offered some extra inspiration to the young females in attendance.

You’ll now find a 3aaa Academy in Bedford, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Croydon, Derby, Guildford, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Maidstone, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Northampton, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Reading, Sheffield, Southampton, Tamworth, Warwick, Watford and Worcester.

Derby County Football Club is pleased to announce that club partner 3aaa has extended its relationship with the club.

3aaa, who already present the Gordon Guthrie Stand at the iPro Stadium and also sponsor the first-team squad’s training wear have now formed a relationship with the Derby County Community Trust as a presenting partner in an exciting link-up.

As a presenting partner, 3aaa will have their branding placed on the kit of the Community Trust’s workforce as well as in their offices and the classroom space located at the iPro Stadium.

The partnership will also enable the Community Trust to create wider opportunities for young people in Derbyshire utilising the brand of the club to improve people’s lives through participation in sport.

Derby County, through the Community Trust, has the ability to engage people, raising hopes and aspirations, improving the lives of the people of Derbyshire.

As a club, the Rams are committed to ensuring that they respond to local needs whilst working strategically in line with regional and national agendas and recognise that sport can play a prominent role in addressing major issues such as rising obesity levels, community cohesion, health inequalities, un-employment and educational attainment.

Through the diverse range of programmes delivered by the Derby County Community Trust, the club aim to get people healthier and more active, raise attainment in schools, develop talent pathways and improve the local community.

The club’s partnership work strengthens the entire scheme delivery programme and enables the Community Trust to work strategically within Derbyshire, constantly being aware of the cultural diversity that exists in the local community and remain committed to embracing it and providing equitable access.

Simon Carnall, Head of Community at the Community Trust, said: “The success of our scheme is built on the foundations of great partnerships and being able to add 3aaa to that list is fantastic.

3aaa, like the Community Trust, recognise the profound impact that the power of sport can have on people’s lives and we recognise that by working together we can create further opportunities for young people throughout Derbyshire.

Utilising the expertise that 3aaa have in Apprenticeships and Traineeships, we will be able to create new employment pathways for young people. “

He added: “We look forward to seeing the positive impact from working together with 3aaa over the next 18 months.”

Di McEvoy-Robinson, Co-Owner of 3aaa, said: “For 3aaa, it is an extension to a fabulous relationship that we already enjoy with Derby County Football Club.

We work with young people not only across Derbyshire but also up and down the country and we continue to want to make a difference through the power of sport, and the Community Trust certainly shares our goals.

It made absolute sense to work with the Community Trust and they share our goals to Aspire, Achieve and Advance.”

Keep an eye on the 3aaa website over the coming days to watch a video about the partnership.
