IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPRENTICE EMPLOYERS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

PM Training continues it's support for mental health and wellbeing with the Big White Wall mental health service available to all learners and apprentices.

If you are looking at apprenticeships as one of your school leaver options, you'll want to understand not only what types of apprenticeships there are, but also what you'll get paid. 

Kieran Bevan, Schools & Recruitment Manager at PM Training, talks about developing new Gatsby benchmark sessions in schools across the local area.

Learners at PM Training recently had the chance to meet apprentices from a variety of different sectors from business, customer service, HR, painting and decorating, grounds maintenance and more.

A huge well done to Aspire Housing apprentice Alex Michalski, 20, who has smashed his customer service practitioner apprenticeship with a distinction! 

Celeste Green, 18, from Stoke-on-Trent, is passionate about helping more women into trade roles and see's her journey to become a painting and decorating apprentice as inspiration for others.

Apprenticeships can open up so many doors for career progression. This is the story of Dale, someone who after achieving his A-levels and gaining places at Universities in London and Staffordshire, found his perfect learning style through apprenticeships and is now enjoying a new full-time role as a Data Administrator. 

Jay Welch, 16, has recently started his apprenticeship journey and is learning his trade as part of a maintenance service funded by Realise charity.

I'm sure there have been many conversations in meetings about whether to recruit or upskill existing staff. Budgets and timescales come into question and the debate goes on as both sides have well-rounded arguments. But with a well thought out progression plan for your employees, there is no better place to look than at your in-house talent.
