The successful firm has already adopted eight hand-picked apprentices this year who demonstrated the willingness and potential to grow within the business, but Don-Bur is keen to take this further.
Apprenticeships, from initial training up to and including Technician level 3 and Graduate level 4 schemes, are vitally important to offer career stability and planned, structured growth for a wide variety of individuals seeking self-improvement.The schemes provide a valuable platform to provide a long-term partnership which will benefit both Don-Bur and apprentices alike.
Lisa Blake, human resources manager at Don-Bur, said: “Engineering and manufacture relies on skilled associates who may not be readily available without training.The new apprenticeship partnership with NSEG gives us a unique, tailored apprenticeship programme that not only identifies high potential candidates but encourages an excellent retention rate after graduation.”
Paul Williams, leader at NSEG, added: “As a prime provider to Don-Bur, we pride ourselves on our abilities to tailor individual learning plans, highlight opportunities and support the apprentices throughout the scheme.”
Apprentices completing each level will acquire a recognised qualification as well as having developed valued skills which will generate greater career prospects and remain with them throughout their working life.
