The interview stage is one of the most important in the hiring process for any employer looking to take on new staff. When it goes right, it can provide you with important insights into whether a candidate is right for your company. On the other hand, if this conversation doesn’t go well, it can make it much harder to find the right person.
Whether you’re an employer looking to hire a new apprentice or trainee, or an entry-level worker hoping to find a new career opportunity, it’s likely that the first stage of your jobseeking process starts with a rather important question: where should I look?
In Australia, there are around 4.5 million people aged 45 years and older in employment, making up 39 per cent of the entire workforce. This is no doubt a hugely substantial talent pool, leading employers dipping into it to hire a mature-age apprentice.
Apprentices and trainees are favouring trade-based qualifications over non-trade placements, recent figures have revealed.
Not all apprenticeships or traineeships work out as planned, which can lead to a training contract getting cancelled or terminated. Fortunately, there are systems in place to support people in these situations.
Technology is a crucial part of how many modern companies do business, with the cloud, social, big data and the Internet of Things creating both new challenges and opportunities.
Now could be the ideal time to commence a traineeship in clerical services, with new research indicating employers are on the lookout for qualified office support staff.
Apprenticeships and traineeships enable people to earn while they learn, eventually resulting in a qualification that can be the first step on the road to a new career.
Retaining top talent is a key objective for most businesses, particularly those that have invested significant time and resources into training and developing staff.
If you’ve always had a head for numbers, then financial services traineeships could provide lucrative opportunities in the months and years ahead.
