At Simplex, we are deeply committed to fostering the growth of young talent through our support for the apprenticeship scheme. This decision was influenced by our own experiences, particularly that of Lucy, our director. Lucy started her career as an apprentice and saw firsthand how such opportunities can transform lives. Inspired by her journey, she decided to bring the same chance to others, aiming to combat unemployment and build a skilled future workforce.
Attracting the best new talent there is to offer
Our dedication to apprenticeships goes beyond just providing job opportunities. We believe in offering comprehensive support and training to help young people thrive. By hiring apprentices, we not only contribute to their professional development but also infuse our team with fresh, innovative perspectives. Most apprentices come to us eager to hone their skills in specific sectors like accountancy, allowing us to mould them to our high standards while avoiding any outdated practices.
This approach benefits both our apprentices and our organisation. New team members who enter without preconceived notions bring a fresh perspective, leading to creative problem-solving and innovative ideas. We provide our apprentices with a well-rounded experience, including 20% off-the-job training, which is crucial for their skill enhancement and professional growth. This balance of practical work and educational development ensures they are well-prepared for their future careers.
We are consistently impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication our apprentices bring to the table. They demonstrate a strong desire to learn and excel, showing motivation and skill as they work towards their qualifications. At Simplex, we take pride in helping young people develop their careers and contribute to a brighter future for our industry and beyond.
By investing in apprenticeships, we are not just shaping individual careers; we are also strengthening our community and driving positive change.
