Specialist recruitment agency and online training provider, Simon Acres Group Limited gathered industry professionals on its stand (4B22) at InstallerSHOW 2024 to create an Apprenticeship & Skills Hub.
An ambassador of apprenticeships, training and self-development in the KBB, construction and merchant industries, Simon Acres Group hosted 24 sessions over the three-day exhibition. The sessions were led by various guest speakers who shared invaluable insights on hiring an apprentice and created a unified voice for the industry.
Companies with first-hand knowledge and experience in apprenticeships took the spotlight on the Simon Acres Group stand, which was designed as a mini theatre. Representatives from LEAP Apprenticeships & Early Careers, The Apprenticeship Partner, Achieve and Partners, Apprenticeship Ambassador Network (AAN), My First Great Job and Didac (a national training provider) offered guidance on how to hire an apprentice with ease.
What’s more, industry specialists including Andy Gamble, who boasts over 40 years of experience in the builders’ merchanting industry, and spokespeople from Dunavox, SENSTEC, Kbsa, Cyncly, Pink Plumbing, Coalville Kitchens and The Furniture Makers’ Company provided their experience on apprenticeships and building a skilled workforce for the future of the industry. Key topics such as apprenticeship standards, the cost of having an apprentice and how hiring an apprentice can benefit a business were covered, which provided detailed insights to help address the skills shortage within the industry.
Simon Acres, Managing Director, Simon Acres Group, comments: “We are massive advocates of apprenticeships at Simon Acres Group. Hiring an apprentice enables employers to nurture fresh talent, bring diverse perspectives and address the shortage of talented individuals within the KBB, construction and merchant industries. Our Apprenticeship & Skills Hub at InstallerSHOW 2024 was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the significance of apprenticeships and we’re sure that those who joined our sessions left with some key takeaways on the matter.
“Moving forward, whether you are seeking the right apprenticeship provider, or need advice on futureproofing your business, our team is here to support you.”
Simon Acres Group will be sharing insights from InstallerSHOW on its LinkedIn page.
