Due to continued investment in products, people and plant, we want to strengthen our technical support teams with Apprentices. We also want to utilise our current skilled workforce to mentor and pass on vast knowledge to back up what is delivered in college. We have had Apprentices at Yeovil College for over 15 years and have carried out functional skills and lean training over many years. We had a partnership with the young Apprenticeship programme. Apprentices are our future and the business recognises this through a higher rate of pay, which increases as they add more value. Some qualifications are very difficult and can stretch the learner, but with the support of the college and the business we overcome this. Many of our Apprentices move onto supervisor roles and stay with us long term. Events like the Apprenticeship Job Fair are well attended with lots of interest in all our roles.
