Commenting on Apprentice Connect Celine McCartan College, Principal and Chief Executive, stated: "Apprentice Connect is key to the College’s role in providing skills and opportunities locally. I am looking forward to engaging with young people, parents, and local employers to promote Apprenticeships – which create jobs with training in-built locally. I am also pleased to announce that to support this process, we will be launching the Colleges HLA Connect Portal. This online portal provides advice and guidance on study options and enables prospective HLA’s to engage with employers and secure an apprenticeship."
Jill Jenkins, Early Careers Manager at Severfield, highlights the importance of apprentices: "At Severfield, we are passionate about helping young people take their first step onto the career ladder. We get the opportunity to bring apprentices into our organisation who we can train to have the skills, knowledge, and behaviours that we require. This puts us in a great position as an organisation as we can grow our talent pipeline.
"We offer variety of apprenticeship opportunities, including many at higher levels. Apprenticeships allow us to develop employees with industrial experience and qualifications aligned to company need.
"Our relationship with South West College goes back many years, and we look forward to supporting the Apprentice Connect event again this year. These events provide a fantastic opportunity for us to meet with prospective apprentices and discuss the opportunities that are available.’
