Apprenticeships
At Rhino Training we believe firmly in the value of Apprenticeship programmes both for the individual learner, but also for the future of industry in this country. Apprenticeships can help businesses across all sectors by offering a route to harness fresh new talent.
Apprenticeships can help your workforce master the latest techniques to fill the skills gaps you have and insure against those that are likely to arise. By taking on apprentices, you develop the specialist skills you need to keep pace with the latest technology and working practices in your sector.
Research recently conducted on behalf of the Learning and Skills Council (who fund apprenticeships) revealed:
- 77% of employers believe apprenticeships make them more competitive;
- 76% say that apprenticeships provide higher overall productivity;
- 80% feel that apprenticeships reduce staff turnover;
- 83% of employers rely on their apprenticeships programme to provide the skilled workers that they need for the future;
- In terms of the return on investment linked to apprenticeships, 73% say that their apprentices make a valuable contribution to the business during their training period, with a third reporting that apprentices add value within their first few weeks (or even from Day One);
- 57% report a high proportion of their apprentices going on to management positions within the company.
Over three-quarters of respondents expect apprenticeships to play a bigger part in their recruitment policy in the future.
Apprenticeships ensure that your workforce has the practical skills and qualifications your organisation needs now and in the future. The mixture of on, and off, job learning ensures they learn the skills that work best for your business. Rhino helps to deliver apprentice places because they understand the benefits that apprentices bring to business – increased productivity, improved competitiveness and a committed and competent work-force.
