How can employers benefit from apprenticeship-style programs?
Apprenticeship is an employer-driven model. Employers play a critical role in driving apprenticeship design; hiring, training and mentoring apprentices
through on the job learning; and supporting structured technical instruction. Apprenticeship-style programs allow employers to :
- Save on cost of recruitment
Upskilling staff is a great way to ensure that your organization is staffed by personnel that have the skillsets you need without absorbing the costs
associated with competing for new talent.
- Take a systematic approach to training
Ensures that employees are trained and certified to produce the highest skill levels required for the occupation.
- Diversify your workforce
Tap into pipelines that provide you with skilled employees from groups that are underrepresented in the industry.
- Enhance employee retention
92% of apprentices retain employment after program completion
- Motivate your employees
Keep employees motivated and committed for the long-term by helping them develop their skills and providing an avenue for upward mobility
within the organization.
- Create a safer work environment
May reduce Workers Compensation costs due to the emphasis on safety.
