Initiative memberWeston College is a quarter of the way through its ambitious 200 in 100 campaign, which seeks to promote apprenticeships to both businesses and potential apprentices.
After just 25 days the College has managed to attract 72 pledges meaning that it is well on track to achieve its target of 200 apprenticeship pledges in just 100 days.
Among the businesses who have pledged are Alliance Homes Group, Restor8, Thatchers, Sidcot School and the NHS. Another company who has pledged to take on apprentices is SACO, which has hired two Team Leading Level 3 apprentices.
Di Gwinnel, HR Business Partner for SACO said: “It is exciting to get involved with the 200 in 100 campaign and show our support for developing aspirational talented individuals. We have taken on two apprentices and the whole business is looking forward to helping them develop.
“Weston College has been extremely helpful and I would highly recommend getting in contact with them to support you with the whole apprenticeship process.”
Dr Paul Phillips CBE, Principal and Chief Executive of the Weston College Group, said: “Apprenticeships play an important role in developing highly skilled workforces for organisations and it is fantastic to see how many businesses are making use of our Training Solutions team to help develop young people and adults across the South West.
“We have seen more apprenticeship opportunities open up for our students across a range of sectors, which is very exciting for the College and our learners.” You can keep an eye on the campaign’s progress across social media, with #200in100 being used on Twitter.
