As course leader for the north, alongside Julie Price our southern leader, I am delighted to announce that our new workshop, specifically designed with apprentice providers in mind is now available.
Resilience for Apprentices:
A 3.5 hour workshop of challenging and thoughtful learning on how success in the workplace looks and what skills and thoughts underpin that success. An event they are unlikely to forget with knowledge that is unlikely to fade.
Why do you and your apprentices need this?
The successes of organisations offering apprentices, to levy companies or otherwise, is wholly dependent on the individual apprentices commitment and attitude to the way ahead for them.
We are already hearing reports about dissatisfaction among employers in regards graduates as we highlighted in our recent blog.
‘A CBI/Pearson survey of 344 firms found that 32 percent were dissatisfied with graduates’ attitudes and behaviours of self-management and resilience.‘
If this is happening to graduates it is also likely to occur in the Apprentice arena.
This makes it all the more urgent for apprentice providers that they continue to address, attitudes, behaviours, self management and resilience in any way they can.
The Resilience for Apprentices Workshop is a tough, no-nonsense, narrative learning experience that can fundamentally change attitudes among young people.
Comments from learners – all under 24
“Inspiring and fantastic, have never attended a training course like it. This is more intense than the management course I took and it has increased my confidence no end when selling our entertainment products.”
“Opened my mind to many new things and will help with my role in the company”
“Inspired me completely, makes me think differently about my life and what I want to do, I want to earn enough ato study at university to be a primary school teacher or a criminologist. Barry is an excellent teacher and I want to do really well at my job”
Apprentice providers and levy companies running internal provisions, perhaps like you, are generally overstretched.
They are striving to give an excellent service in a difficult and challenging funding arena that the current government seems unable to stop tinkering with.
They have often pastoral duties in well-being and safeguarding that eat time, and they still have to deal with individual employers and apprentices.
“Of the 190 apprenticeship schemes inspected in 2015 by Ofsted, 72 “required improvement” and 21 were “inadequate”, affecting about 73,000 apprentices and 49 per cent of providers” {Source}
It’s a worrying statistic and smacks of cynicism about the progress that so many providers are making in this singularly difficult market.
With this workshop we aim to help you enhance the life chances of young people no matter what study or work they are undertaking.
Nothing is more important for the future of business or the UK.
