By Chris Watt of Team Wearside
TEAM Wearside grasped the opportunity to participate in this campaign as we strongly believe apprenticeships are a great way for young people in particular to get on the career ladder, gain qualifications and earn a salary at the same time.
The skills they learn and the qualifications they gain will improve their prospects for the future. We have seen the campaign raise the profile of apprenticeships with local employers in and around the North East as a way to grow their own talent and reap the benefits of a more productive workforce.
In today’s difficult economic climate, it is vital that people should acquire the skills and qualifications necessary for them to take every advantage of employment opportunities and thereby help to stimulate business growth.
Training providers, employers and apprentices alike have a valuable role to play in this development process.
TEAM Wearside offers a large portfolio of training services across the North East. You can choose either for your existing staff to work towards an apprenticeship or TEAM can assist in recruiting a new apprentice. TEAM is committed to making the apprenticeship process as easy as possible.
TEAM apprentices are an ideal way of recruiting enthusiastic new staff in a range of vocational areas including business administration, IT, customer service, hospitality and catering, retail and health and social care. A full support package is in place for all employers. We can advertise your apprenticeship vacancies via the National Apprenticeship Matching Service, find suitable candidates and deliver the training.
Our aim is to make life easier for you, the employer, and we offer a wide range of added benefits on top of those that are normally offered by apprenticeship schemes. These include:
Tailored training programmes to fit your exact business needs.
Help with recruiting enthusiastic and capable apprentices.
Individual mentoring and learning support to ensure the apprentices reach their full potential.
Jan Lambert, office manager of GLB Lettings Sunderland, said: “My staff have enjoyed learning new skills, building upon their existing skills and gaining a formal qualification.
“TEAM have supported us with recruitment of apprentices, training in business administration and it has given staff a real focus in their work.
“As a result, I think they are achieving more job satisfaction and their enhanced skills are good for the business too.”
