We’re passionate about apprenticeships and changing lives. Whether you’re looking for your future career or seeking advice on how apprenticeships can transform your business – you’re in the right place.

It’s hard, to plan your future. You may have spent two years focusing on studying for exams and now you have to plan what happens next. Are you torn between doing ‘A’ Levels as a route to university and doing a degree, getting a job or maybe starting an apprenticeship? While historically, university degrees were considered the pinnacle of academic achievement and a guarantee of a great job and apprenticeships were seen as a route for mainly more manual trades, times have changed and so have opinions around work-based learning. 

So many schools and college leavers along with college and university graduates are now realising the value that employers attach to the work experience and the transferable skills gained from an apprenticeship and with the advent of the Apprenticeship Levy, and the relaxation of eligibility rules, more graduates than ever use an apprenticeship after their degree to gain that all-important role-specific training. 

Join our webinar to find out why it doesn’t have to be a choice of either an apprenticeship or a degree and how it can be both.

Apprenticeship, A-Levels, or a Degree?

Join us for a frank, open, honest, fun and hopefully, lively conversation for an hour (maybe more) Q&A to discuss all things, Amal.

In summary, we will cover:

- Introductions
- What apprenticeship she chose and why
- Parents input at the start of the apprenticeship what they thought then vs now
- What makes her tick
- Your Failures & successes
- Childhood
- Future aspirations
- Where she sees herself in 3,5,10 years’ time
- What does success means to her
- Her worst day, proudest moment

…and anything else

Apprenticeship Spotlight: Amal Rziek - London Care

Every year, hundreds of thousands of young people try to map out their career path following the end of their time at school. The options can be somewhat confusing, often leading to more questions than answers. This can be a bit overwhelming, but if University isn’t for you, or you have already tried that route and it didn’t work out, or you want to change your career but don’t know how, then don’t worry, there are plenty of ways you can start a new career by doing an apprenticeship. 

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a real job with additional learning where you gain experience and get paid a proper wage. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have developed the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.

Join us on this informative webinar to find out all about life as an apprentice.

Becoming an Apprentice

As more of the economy reopens, demand for talent is consistently outstripping supply – it’s an employee’s market. It has led to severe labour shortages in sectors including food manufacturing, hospitality, logistics and entertainment. Seismic contractions through lockdown have been followed by great booms as industries rebounded, in some cases even stronger than before. Employee retention is fast becoming a key competitive differentiator. A company’s ability to hold on to its talent — especially in competitive markets — has deep-felt ramifications for its ability to operate at a high level, without the disruptions that employee turnover bring. Training and development opportunities are excellent ways to retain your talent, join us to hear how investing in your workforce through apprenticeships can be an excellent way to engage and retain your top talent.

Reason to attend:
• Hear how businesses are using learning and development strategies to aid attraction and retention 
• Find out new and innovative ways to provide training because of Covid-19.
• How to provide ongoing education and clear paths to advancement
• Help your employees feel connected

Talent Retention

Covid-19 has become the accelerator for one of the greatest workplace transformations in generations. How we work, exercise, shop, learn and communicate has changed forever. Largely driven by remote working and new technology solutions, businesses needed to adapt-and quickly- to stay ahead of this curve. To sustain growth post-pandemic, businesses now need the right tools, the right people with the right skills using the right processes to remain competitive in a digital world. How are you planning to fill the current skills gap and ensure your workforce has the skills to remain competitive in the future? Join us as we explore the power of apprenticeships in filling skills gaps

It is estimated that by 2030, over 30 million people – equivalent to 90% of the current workforce - will need to be reskilled to perform the tasks required in their daily roles. Even before the Covid-19, pandemic, driven by technological advancements, it was clear that the world of work would look considerably different in ten years’ time to the way it looks today. Covid-19 has since become the accelerator for one of the greatest workplace transformations in generations meaning the size of the skills gap likely to emerge across the coming decade has widened immeasurably.  How are you planning to fill the current skills gap and ensure your workforce has the skills to remain competitive in the future? Join us as we explore the power of apprenticeships in filling skills gaps

Reason to attend:
• Learn how to create a workforce for the future state of your business 
• Explore how to fill your skills gaps through apprenticeships and short training courses   
• Learn how the current pandemic has affected the future of skills and how business is responding 
• Understand the implications of remote working on the future of apprenticeship provision

Bridging the Skills Gap

For many companies, the discussion around a return to the office is part of a much larger picture, with the success of remote work completely transforming the way organisations operate, but more importantly, where.

Nineteen months into an unprecedented shift to work-from-home, many leaders are more convinced about the productivity working from home can bring, but some are still no closer to giving up the office. However, with research from LinkedIn showing that 44% of staff believe those who work in the office are more likely to be favoured by senior team members, and with the recently announced four-day working week trial within the UK, is it time for us all to head back to the office?

Speakers include:

- Ben Towers | Co-founder, Tahora
- Teresa Boughey MA FCIPD | CEO, Jungle HR & Founder, Inclusion 247
- Stuart Mace | Consultant

The 'Proximity Bias':  Should we all be back to the office?

There is no denying that organisations perform better when their workforce is happy and healthy, but according to mental health charity Mind, around 1 in 6 workers are currently dealing with with a mental health problem such as anxiety, depression or stress.

Supporting workers when they are struggling with their mental health is key in determining how quickly they are able to get back to peak performance, and standing by your employees whilst they are struggling sends a message to not only the employee, but the wider workforce about your organisation and it's values.

So, where is the line between performance management and supporting ill-health?

Speakers include:

- Sarah Wilson | Director of HR, Hull University
- Natasha Giles | Regional People and Culture Director - UK & Europe, Les Mills UK
- Jodie Battson | Head of UK Partnerships, Western Union Business Solutions
- Tamara McMillen | Non-Executive Director, Wilton & Bain
- James Ski | CEO & Founder, Sales Confidence

Where is the line between performance management and supporting ill-health?

For many of the working population, their day jobs can be stressful in and of itself. However, for many, they have the additional struggle of having to hide and deny one of the most fundamental aspects of who they are.

According to a report from LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, one in ten black, Asian and minority ethnic LGBT staff have been physically attacked because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, compared to three per cent of white LGBT staff. Similarly, research from TotalJobs showed that 60% of trans respondants have experienced some form of transphobic discrimination in the workplace.

So, what can we do in order to create an inclusive and supportive culture when it comes to supporting our diverse peers?

Speakers include:

- Kelly Collumb | Wellbeing, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, Gymshark Ltd.
- David Gentles | Relationship Manager, London Sport
- Kasia Kuchnicka | Contact Centre Manager & Wellbeing Lead, Royal Albert Hall

Creating an inclusive workplace: Showing your people their value

Many still hold tight to the belief that in order to remain professional, we need to keep our 'game face' on in our day-to-day working lives. However, all heroes have a weakness - so should we be owning ours?

Over the past decade there have been many conversations around leadership, and research has lended support to the idea that leaders who are prepared to show vulnerability are more effective in their role as a leader.

With the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic effectively bringing down the barrier between work and home, is there still a line between our professional and personal lives?

Speakers include:
- Sarah McIntosh | Director of Delivery, MHFA England
- Lynda Holt MA, RGN, DipHE, CPBP, FinstLM, FRSA | CEO, Health Service 360
- Garry Mansell | Entrepreneur and Investor, Speaker and Author
- Alex Holmes | Author & Coach
- Andrew Hough | CEO & Director, The Institute of Sales Professionals

Does the show always have to go on? Removing the mask

In today's 'always on' culture, managing employee burnout has become a priority for many organisations, with a survey from careers site Indeed finding that over half of respondents already felt burned out, and more than two-thirds felt that things had gotten worse in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With burnout now officially recognised by the World Health Organization as an occupational health issue, many workers have taken matters of burnout into their own hands, choosing to prioritise their mental health through self-care and striving to find a better work-life balance.

But, does the responsibility for managing burnout sit with the employee or the employer?

Speakers include:

- Debbie Bullock (she/her) | Wellbeing Lead, AVIVA
- Laura & Barry Ash | Founders & Owners, Rock Solid Health
- Alexandra Rafter | Head of Commercial, Remit Training
