Ask employers and apprentices how they work together to succeed
16 Apr 2014 04:01 PM
Two apprentices and their employers will answer
your questions on everything to do with apprenticeships live on Facebook on 23
April.
You can post your
questions now to the 2 companies and the apprenticesworking
for them. You’ll be able to learn first-hand, what it’s like for
each.
The
first company is Orchid Pubs &
Dining who run an award-winning apprenticeship programme. The company
is committed to giving people their first step on the ladder to a successful
career. Equally, they are keen to support government initiatives to help young people into the
workplace.
The
second firm is Jonny’s
Sister . They are a small business, based in Dorset, that produces and
sells British-made, personalised gifts, and treats everyone in their company as
part of one, big family.
The GREAT
Business campaign has a wealth of information for employers about
hiring apprentices, and about the government support available. There are also
some terrific case studies on the GREAT Business
websitedemonstrating the vital role that apprenticeships play in
the UK economy.
