With smart technology, the Internet of Things and a low carbon future becoming part of everyday life, exciting career opportunities in the electrotechnical industry are not far away – and there is no doubt in my mind that an n apprenticeship is the ideal opportunity to get the skills, knowledge and experience to set people in the industry on course to a bright future. National Apprenticeship Week celebrated the achievements of apprentices around the country and the positive impact they make to communities, businesses and the wider economy. The week had something for everyone, with individuals, employers, training providers and communities getting involved to show apprenticeships are the way to gain #SkillsForLife. According to published figures from The Electrotechnical Skills Partnership, companies that recruit electrical apprentices can see a return on investment as early as year two of the apprenticeship programme. For employers looking at apprenticeships there is information available on how to get started with employing an apprentice.
W The JIB works with more than 60 apprenticeship and training providers to register apprentices under
industry recognised frameworks for training and promotion of career progression and employment standards.
The paper used in this magazine is obtained from manufacturers who operate within internationally recognised standards. The paper is made from Elementary Chlorine Free (ECF) pulp, which is sourced from sustainable, properly managed forestation.
The statements and opinions expressed in connectingindustry/Instrumentation magazine are not those of the editor or Datateam Business Media Ltd unless described as such.
This means businesses can be assured the apprentice is on the right track to become skilled and qualified and obtain their ECS gold card, which, of course, is the ultimate recognition of skilled status. The key thing about apprenticeships is they are not just aimed at young people. Individuals of any age can reach their career goals by building their skills and knowledge through an apprenticeship. We hope this issue is informative.
