In March of this year the recruitment industry was handed a fantastic opportunity to secure government funded training with the introduction of its first dedicated Recruitment Apprenticeship; the new dedicated apprenticeship will ensure learners focus on the skills and knowledge right for their role – Existing staff of all ages are currently eligible to enroll on the 12 months training programme (FULLY FUNDED – subject to eligibility criteria). The training includes subjects such as assessing candidates, coaching and supporting candidates, building relationships with clients, and understanding how to effectively market job roles.
This first sector specific apprenticeship is being backed by a unique partnership made up of industry body The Institute of Recruiters (IOR), awarding body Skillsfirst Awards and training provider Expedient Training Consultancy. The three organisations have joined forces to promote the benefits of the new apprenticeship, as well as offering training and certification to learners.
In Early April Recruitment Juice, the well-known and respected online Recruitment Training Provider agreed an exclusive deal with Expedient Training Consultancy to provide Underpinning Knowledge via their unique platform of situation video and industry expert interview resources.
Matt Trott, MD at Recruitment Juice commented "We are very excited to have been identified & selected as the preferred partner for online video based learning. Recruitment Juice has been instrumental in training thousands of recruiters around the world and now we will be responsible for developing the life blood of our industry. The programme offers recruiters the perfect combination of video, face to face and vocational learning and covers all the key areas of recruitment. For the recruitment industry to offer the first sector- specific apprenticeship is a real coup and we're looking forward to working with our partners on this project."
“The addition of Recruitment Juice’s online content has led to a truly valuable and dynamic Training opportunity” said Paul Deen, Director at Expedient Training Consultancy. Paul Added “due to this commercial agreement Apprentices and existing staff alike completing our Training Programme will have full access to all Recruitment Juice material and will be guided through the use of such resources by an Expedient Trainer who will mentor the learner through their Diploma in Recruitment”
