Retaining talented staff is a key objective for any business, and employers who take on apprentices and trainees are no different. If you’ve spent time and resources training an employee to your specific work environment, you’ll no doubt want them to go the distance.
If you’ve just interviewed for an apprenticeship or traineeship, it means you’ve almost made it through the application process and may be about to land yourself a new job.
When a prospective employer invites you to an interview, it’s a great feeling to know that all the hard work you put into your application has paid off.
An apprenticeship or traineeship is a fantastic way to learn the ropes of a profession and achieve a nationally recognised qualification at the end of the experience. You’ll even earn a wage while you’re training.
One of the first steps to finding the right apprentice or trainee for your organisation is to write a position description that outlines the role you are trying to fill.
In many cases, sending in your resume will be the first contact you have with a potential employer, which means it’s important to make a good impression.
As a great way to get that important foot in the door and launch a career, it is no wonder why apprenticeships are in such high demand. Every year, scores of young people across the country vie for a handful of these positions, and the competition doesn’t look like waning any time soon.
There are many benefits to apprenticeships or traineeships, whether you’re a candidate or the employer. However, finding the right arrangement for your needs is often a challenge.
It is often said that when hiring employees, intangible qualities are just as important as technical skills, experience and qualifications – if not more so. Skills can always be taught, but inherent traits such as personality and attitude are harder to foster.
If you want a fulfilling career that allows you to give back to the community and provide much-needed support to those who may struggle with day-to-day tasks, then aged care could be the right job for you.
