In this episode of The Apprenticeship Godmother Podcast host Sarah Abel discusses how to retain a good apprentice.
Sarah shares some valuable tips for ensuring that your apprentices are happy and motivated to stay with your company. One key point she emphasises is the importance of having a clear and accurate job description. This will help your apprentices understand exactly what is expected of them and what the job entails.
Another tip Sarah shares is to take your time when recruiting apprentices. Make sure you find the right fit rather than rushing into a hiring decision and hiring someone who isn't a good fit for the role or your company. She also suggests using a traineeship model, which combines on-the-job training with structured off-the-job training for people aged 16-24.
