My experience on an apprenticeship scheme
By John Pooley
Starting as an Apprentice
• Secured apprenticeship – before was studying joinery
• College – 2/3 of a degree within a year
• Work – 1 year – experience in different departments
• Life after – procure to pay – management accounts
Skills Gained from my Apprenticeship
• 1 Year’s experience – invaluable in current climate
• Qualification - chance without a degree – AAT
• Life balance between both work and college – used to
working life
• Foot in the door for future employment
• Apprenticeships are more practical and job-related than other
forms of learning
Employers gain from hiring an
Apprentice.
• Allows employer to develop apprentice with skills and
qualities that external market can not guarantee
• Help secure a supply of skilled young recruits – ageing
workforce
• Apprenticeships are less expensive to recruit and train
than experienced workers.
• Apprentices tend to stay with the organisation – also
provide a high number future managers
• A good Apprenticeship scheme could be reflected in an
enhanced reputation for the business both within the
industry and in the local community
