Are You Supporting Your Apprentices?
Have you spoken to your teams recently who are on apprenticeship programmes?
Remember, we all need to view things from three perspectives:
- Learner (apprentice) – Them
- Employer – You
- Training Provider – Us
As a line manager, your role is crucial to the success of the apprenticeship. Without your support, many apprentices won’t fully benefit from the programme — and some may struggle to complete it altogether.
At Fareport Training, we understand this can be daunting for busy managers. That’s why we’re here to help — to support you and ensure your apprentice gets the most out of their programme.
It’s important that everyone involved understands the commitment and expectations of the apprenticeship, including key elements and common challenges such as off-the-job training time. If there are any issues, please communicate with us so we can support you effectively.
It’s never too late to help someone get back on track. Let’s work together for the best outcome.
3 things you can do to support right now:
- Speak to them 😊 (and continue to do so)
- Revisit the reasons they wanted to do the programme and re-emphasise them
- Establish an action plan to get back on track
