Choose the right perspective
Match the type of apprenticeship to yours, since a craft or technician program on job sites runs very differently from one that moves people into office or technology roles. Also consider whether you are launching a first program or scaling one across many sites, and pick someone whose roles centered on that stage.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which roles in a company are a good fit for apprenticeships?
- 02What does it take to keep apprentices engaged and retained through the full program?
- 03How do you measure whether an apprenticeship program is paying off for the business?
