Our Apprenticeship Programme
Personal Growth Programme
Our apprenticeship programmes are aimed at individuals who are as passionate about learning as we are about developing our employees. We offer many opportunities for personal growth throughout the apprenticeship programme, to help our apprentices succeed and reach their potential.
-
Workshops
We will deliver a number of training workshops which are designed to develop skills in communication, time management, team working and project management.
-
Health & Safety
Health & Safety is our first priority and it is important for us to provide a safe and secure workplace.
-
Team Building
We run an annual team building event for all apprentices, which is fun, interactive and designed to encourage team working skills which can be transferred back into the workplace.
-
Community Project
We encourage our apprentices to participate in various community projects. The projects are designed to give something back to the local community, whilst helping apprentices to enhance their skills and workplace experience.
