Overviews

The advanced apprenticeship is a high quality programme of vocational education and training designed to attract bright young people to the industry. The advanced apprenticeship provides a set of work based qualifications to nationally recognised standards, key skills and vocational qualifications from a college of further education.

Working with schools, local training providers and colleges AVA can source the most qualified candidates for your organization and provide the support and learning through their apprenticeship.

Why AVA

Not only do we source apprentices, we work with them throughout their apprenticeship providing the support and NVQ based learning need to achieve their goals.

We recognize that there is more to training than just theory and skills transfer. We understand the needs of both the apprentice and the employer. We deliver a wide range of engineering programmes for apprentices working within Government guidelines for national vocational qualifications.

Our advisors are all time served engineers and are still working within the engineering industry on a regular basis to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in engineering practice. This ensures they understand the environment the apprentices are working in and can provide the right level of support throughout their apprenticeship.

Sourcing

We work with local educational and career establishments, advertise in local press and attend exhibitions to find the most qualified and appropriate candidates for apprenticeships. We partner with local organisations to understand their requirements and find the right candidate for the job.

Once we have sourced the candidates we will assess them and work with our member companies to arrange an appropriate apprenticeship. Finding the right candidate who fits both your needs and that of the apprentice is vitally important as it has a bearing on their motivation and the skills learnt during their time with your company.

Providing the support skills based and technical learning during their apprenticeship is very important and AVA will remain in close contact with them every step of the way. Not only providing help and assistance to the apprentice but also working with managers and supervisors, keeping the programme focused and ensuring the apprentice achieves their qualifications.

Benefits

Many young people do not want to enter into full time higher education and would prefer a work based learning programme that will equip them practical skills and a trade for life. Providing an apprentice with this type of opportunity can bring many benefits to an organization.
