Ceredigion council believes apprenticeships bring in new talent into the workforce and support people to stay in Ceredigion. Their apprentices could be the managers of tomorrow, and they genuinely value and support their progression in the council.
Apprenticeships
Why you should offer an apprenticeship programme in your organisation.
WeCare Wales have been speaking to employers across Wales to help understand the benefits of recruiting apprentices into the care sector.
As an employer you will:
- attract enthusiastic young people and career changers
- reduce staff turnover and improve retention
- help balance ageing workplaces
- offer more opportunities in your company
- provide opportunities for learning
- build people's knowledge skills and experience so they can take on more responsibility
- take on a mentor to support people as they develop
- nurture and develop staff to grow within the values of your organisation
- make sure the learner has time with their learning provider
- review and appraise their progress with them
- identify career progression opportunities and support people to follow those pathways.
