levy from large companies to support SME businesses to train and upskill apprenticeships. Jodi Fair, manager, Solent Apprenticeship hub manager, explained: “Transfer to Transform offers the perfect opportunity to cut the cost of apprenticeship training
entirely for SME’s in the region – we are so pleased that businesses such as Aqua have seized the opportunity. Many of the businesses we have worked with said that introducing an apprentice into the business gives the workforce a fresh perspective,
motivates the rest of the team and improves the overall productivity of the staff. Utilising apprenticeships can be revolutionary for businesses.” Rebecca Ogburn, Aqua Group’s HR manager added: “We’re delighted to have Joe on board. Apprenticeships
are such an important factor in developing talent and nurturing a skilled and qualified workforce and I’m so pleased that Aqua have been able to participate in the TTT initiative with fantastic support from the Solent Apprenticeship Hub.”
