We believe the key to a successful apprenticeship programme is achieving an appropriate balance between knowledge-exchange, action and reflection, and alignment between the needs and wants of the individual and those of the organisation. Drawing on your cultural, organisational and other dynamic perspectives, these short coaching sessions intertwine knowledge and practice.
We can work with you to market and promote upcoming programmes internally. Our diverse experience in the training industry gives you access to a huge knowledge bank of expertise and skills. Typically our team works in partnership with our clients by creating tailor-made campaigns that range from custom collateral to promote offerings, to building a communication strategy for the launch of a global initiative. Our marketing support enables you to benefit from having your own virtual marketing department. How we work together, what we work on and how much involvement we have is up to you.
Overview
Alpha can provide a free apprentice recruitment service to assist in finding the best talent for your organisation.
We will set up an initial discussion to establish exactly what you are looking for in terms of suitable candidates and the role(s) you are looking to fill. We will then list your vacancies using the “Find an Apprenticeship” platform (administered through the Digital Apprenticeship Service) and provide you with a shortlist of only those candidates who meet your criteria.
We will also advise on the recommended learner journey for the chosen candidate(s) and provide resources to support the apprentice(s) into the workplace.
Apprentice Recruitment Service – what we offer
Initial consultation
The initial discussion will explore the role(s) and consider what criteria you would like to set in terms of academic achievement, personal specification, transferable skills and discuss the appropriate programme(s).
Whether it’s one vacancy or a wider intake of multiple apprentices, we want to ensure we select candidates well suited to the role and organisation. This allows you to focus your time on interviewing candidates who have a good chance of filling your vacancy.
Advertise the role
The National Apprenticeship Service provides a “Find an Apprenticeship” service which is promoted by colleges and schools nationwide as the go-to place for applicants to explore and apply for roles.
This service is administered through the same Digital Apprenticeship Service dashboard as employers and training providers use to manage their existing funding and apprentices on programme. On your online dashboard you can grant Alpha permission to manage recruitment on your behalf. We will then list the vacancy for a minimum of 2 weeks or as long as required to get the necessary responses.
Screen the applicants
We will check over each application, rejecting any that are unsuitable. Any that we think fit your criteria will be sent across to you for consideration. Once a shortlist has been drawn up, we will put you in contact with the candidates for you to scree further and arrange interviews.
We will contact candidates who you do not want to take forward and let them down gently. We will also provide feedback and additional support to help candidates to succeed with their future applications.
