This year marked the 15th annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships & we brought together the businesses and apprentices across the country with whom we work to shine a light on the positive impact that apprenticeships make to individuals, businesses and the wider economy.

The theme of the week was “build the future,” reflecting on how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and businesses to develop a talented workforce that is equipped with future-ready skills.
Myth Busting
The myth: 20% off the job training means not doing your job one day a week
The truth: Off the job training includes a variety of activities as long as you apply new learning. For a large percentage of the time, this can be achieved by changing the way you do your job as a result of what you have learned.
Congratulations to all of our learners and here are just a few learner stories
Hodel Hussain – Supervisor – Fox Biscuits
“Throughout my journey with instep, I have learnt to manage and develop my team members with a different dynamic. It has given me more confidence in interacting & communicating. I have also gained more in depth knowledge on managing key projects!”
Kieran Adams – Sodexo
“This course has been the best thing I could have done. It has shown me so many ways I can be an effective leader/manager. It has given me so much more confidence”.
And congratulations to Amy Lawler who passed her retail leader awareness session at Poundland.
