Employer case study:Gabriele

Gabriele, Channel 4Business administration assistant

Having an apprentice scheme is about recognising raw talent over qualifications or work experience. But ours is also about diversity. We’re proud of the range of voices our apprentices represent. Many of them even take part as key speakers in high-level brainstorms around programming and content for young audiences. They add huge value to what we do.

Employer case study:Kerri

Kerri, facemediagroupCustomer services administrator

Right now we have 14 staff and four of them are apprentices, one in each department. If you’re prepared to invest your time in apprentices, the rewards are huge. They don’t just generate more income, they become part of the team, with younger, fresher eyes and ears for us to learn from. It’s very satisfying to watch them grow over the time they’re with us.

Page 31: Apprenticeships Explained

Employer case study:Miles

Miles, Bentley MotorsJunior engineer

Apprenticeships give us the flexibility to train individuals to meet the skills needs for the future. Once trained our apprentices become highly skilled, effective and valuable employees. We find that the apprentices have a refreshing outlook and they often bring new ideas to the company. They can be a real inspiration.

Employer case study:Nana

Nana, Anthony Vrahimis Design ConsultancyProduction assistant

My studio has become well known as a training ground for designers who go on to start their own businesses. You learn on the job, within the industry and it’s real. Some pick up technical skills quickly, others need more time from staff and management. But once they’re trained, they’re worth every second.

Reality Check

• Apprentices are employed full time (at least 30 hours per week) and will have a contract of employment that covers at least the duration of the Apprenticeship.

• Not all Apprenticeships automatically guarantee a sustained job with the employer

• The training can take place at a training centre or college on day or block release basis or may be completed fully in the workplace – this could involve travel

• The Apprentice will earn a salary, the minimum wage is currently £2.68 per hour, although many employers will pay more than this, consideration needs to be given to cost of travel etc
