Building the Future with Apprenticeships
Every year, National Apprenticeships Week (7-13 Feb 2022) provides a chance to celebrate apprenticeships and the value, benefits and opportunity that they offer.
Continuing with the 2021 theme, this year’s campaign once again aims to highlight the importance of apprenticeships in helping to ‘Build the Future’ of individuals, businesses, and the UK economy, equipping people with the skills that employers need while helping them to progress and improve their future career prospects.
Having marked the occasion last year by interviewing some of the apprentices currently working for Medigold Health about their experiences, this time we wanted to get a different perspective. So, we caught up with our Chief People Officer, Gemma Ely, to find out from an employer’s point of view just how valuable apprenticeships can be for organisations like ours.
Check out the video below to hear her discussing how our apprenticeship programme is helping us to futureproof our business by allowing us to upskill our workforce and develop our own talent in house, and how we are also now supporting smaller companies to access and enjoy the benefits of apprenticeships too.
To hear more from our apprentices about their experience of completing an apprenticeship via Medigold Health, click here National Apprenticeship Week 2021 – Medigold Health (medigold-health.com).
