A business that has already proven to be a pioneer within the apprenticeship field, multidisciplinary engineering firm adi Group is making great strides in building the engineering workforce of tomorrow through its award-winning apprenticeship scheme.

 

In a continued effort to offer best-in-class apprenticeship schemes, adi Group is taking part in Next Gen Makers’ Engineering Apprenticeships Best Practice Programme, strengthening its commitment to improving the future of engineering.

 

Next Gen Makers, a strategic partner to Make UK, helps manufacturers across the UK navigate the world of apprenticeships, helping them develop highly effective training schemes.

 

The organisation has recently launched the Engineering Apprenticeships Employer Kitemark Accreditation as part of the Programme, offering a way for employers to be endorsed as an exemplary employer of engineering apprentices.

 

The 12-month scheme includes Benchmarking, Apprentice and Training Provider Survey feedback, helping businesses work towards being officially recognised for their efforts in the engineering apprenticeship space.

 

Commenting on the firm’s continued commitment to the apprenticeship cause, Alan Lusty, CEO, said: “We are proud to be a firm that is continuously investing in improving the future of the UK engineering workforce.

 

“Our award-winning apprenticeship schemes have already produced a number of skilled engineers in recent years, but we always embrace new opportunities to grow and learn, as well as to inspire others within the engineering community”.

 

The Kitemark Accreditation process offers a way for employers to benchmark their approach against industry best practice and identify opportunities for improvement, becoming an apprenticeship employer of choice.

 

Utilising the feedback of current apprentices and training providers as a key part of the scoring process, the accreditation ensures that businesses have the right approach and resources in place to support apprentices along their journey, and adequately train them for a successful future.

 

The accreditation will position the business amongst global giants such as Siemens, RBSL, Collins Aerospace and many other like-minded firms with a shared mission.

 

“We want to our apprenticeship schemes to be as high-performing and effective as possible, and to deliver nothing short of an extraordinary learning and training experience, and we believe the Kitemark programme is a great avenue in ensuring this”, continued Mr Lusty.

 

“It's also a great way to play a role in the fight to close the skills gap in engineering, and to invest in the future of the industry as a whole.

 

“Apprenticeships are still an undervalued pathway within engineering, and employers in the industry should strive to create inclusive and accessible schemes to help combat harmful misconceptions and encourage youngsters into the field”.
