We’re ecstatic to announce that we have been named as Provider of the Year at the 2015 Apprenticeships4England Awards.

This award is the latest in a string of great things that have happened to 3aaa so far during this fantastic year. Starting with our Grade 1 Outstanding from Ofsted and continuing with the opening of numerous Academies across England which has meant that we now place an average of 90 young people in life changing jobs every week, the decision by the judges to recognise us as Provider of the Year is great reward for everything that we have achieved…and there are still five months of our year to go!

These awards, now in their 3^rd year, recognise excellence in Apprenticeship delivery and employment by both providers, such as 3aaa, and employers.  They are fast becoming ‘the’ awards that recognise the great work that is being done across the country to get more young people into Apprenticeships and ensure that they and their employers have an excellent Apprenticeship experience.

Speaking about this success owner and co-founder, Peter Marples, said ‘This is a great reward for all of the hard work that has been put in by the 3aaa team over the last year.  The passion that we have as a company for Apprenticeships flows through everything that we do and I’m delighted that the judges have recognised this passion and the impact that it has on the lives of the people that we work with through these awards’.

But 3aaa isn’t resting on its laurels.  With six new Academies opening before the end of the Academic more young people and employers in more towns and cities across England will be able to benefit from the unique Apprenticeship experience that 3aaa provides.

Di McEvoy-Robinson, owner and co-founder of 3aaa, who joined Peter in collecting the award, said ‘This has been a fantastic year for 3aaa and this award is the icing on the cake.  When Pete and I started 3aaa we had an ambition to be the best at what we do.  The number of young people that we get into jobs each week makes us the biggest, our Ofsted inspection confirmed that our quality is Outstanding and now this award confirms us as the Provider of the Year’.

With National Apprenticeship Week 2015 on the horizon, we are delighted to announce that, as a business, we delivered 101 Apprenticeship starts in Level 3 and 4 programmes last week.

The number of life changing opportunities that we created during the week is a record for the business- We are now averaging over 90 starts each and every week across our 32 centres across England- and we will be delivering 125 a week soon with the brand new centres opening in the near future.

All of the 101 young people were aged 19 and under as more and more passionate and talented people within this age group are seeing the benefit of an Apprenticeship to kick start their dream careers and earn whilst they learn valuable, real life skills.

Peter Marples, Co-owner of 3aaa said ‘Thanks to all of our employers who constantly support and give opportunities to these young people and also to all of the Apprentices for all of their hard work as they capture these amazing opportunities. This is further proof that our employers are seeing these talented young people become pivotal within their businesses and forming the pipeline of their future talent. We have one Apprentice next week flying to Qatar to undertake all the social media work with Derbyshire Cricket Club  at 17 years of age;  what a CV entry’!

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”.
