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.
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.
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.
The decision to take on an apprentice or a trainee will depend on various factors, but there are many benefits for organisations that commit to the idea.
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.
Whether you’re applying for your first job or you have a number of interviews already under your belt, there are still likely to be some nerves involved when you’re trying to convince a potential employer to hire you as an apprentice.
If you are finding it difficult to pick a career path, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Making such an important decision often takes time and a lot of research.
Attracting the best candidates is a key objective for employers hoping to hire apprentices and trainees that are the ideal fit for their organisation.
Apprenticeships and traineeships involve hard work and commitment from both the individual and the employer over a period of several years. During this time, a good rapport is likely to have built up between the two, and many people are keen to stay with the organisation they trained under.
Whether you’re an employer looking for the next top talent or a potential candidate hoping to gain new qualifications, apprenticeships and traineeships can provide a host of benefits.
