Can Digital Apprenticeships Offer a Long-Term Solution For Businesses?
Digital apprenticeships are an undervalued route into the workplace which bring a huge return on investment for all businesses. Upskilling an existing staff member through digital apprenticeship training can provide a great saving compared to the expected expense of recruiting a new team member to fill an internal digital skills gap.?
Additionally, using apprenticeships to provide internal development opportunities for employees can greatly improve staff morale. By investing in their skill development, employees feel valued and enjoy working for your company - something we’re particularly passionate about here at Creative Process.
By deciding to implement a digital apprenticeship scheme, businesses place themselves in a competitive position - having a consistent flow of skilled employees entering the company, results in a more diverse, proficient and dynamic workforce.
Research carried out by Reed, found?85% of apprentices remain in full-time employment?after finishing their apprenticeship programme, of which 64% stay with their current employer.
Apprenticeships are, therefore, a long-term solution to plugging the digital skills gap and reviving the UK economy. Not only do apprenticeships provide new skills to a generation of people entering the workplace, but they can also be used to upskill the existing workforce.?
At Creative Process, we are seeing smart thinking employers taking a serious look at their talent strategy and utilising digital apprentices to not only fill skills gaps, but transition into a new era of talent. Over a few months, our Digital apprenticeship provides candidates with the crucial digital skills driving better talent ROI.
