A Fresh Take on Apprenticeships with Natalie Miller

Get a fresh take on developing and retaining talent in this eye-opening conversation with Natalie Miller, Regional Director of Apprenti. She and host Brandon Laws discuss a new perspective on the age-old concept of apprenticeships but with an unexpected twist. Listen in to learn how your business could take advantage of this innovative employee development initiative.   TAKEAWAYS When we think of apprenticeships, we often think of those for trade jobs, but apprenticeships can also be used for what we call “non-trades,” essentially career paths that we don’t commonly associate with apprenticeships. Among the current talent coming into the workplace, only 30% have four-year degrees. Apprentices allow employees to get on-the-job training — working with managers and a mentor, understanding what works and what doesn't, and eventually being hired into an entry-level role. Organizations that focus on career mobility tend to show increased employee retention. Think about the purpose and functionality of the four-year degree requirement and consider other pathways for those who might not have been included in your talent acquisition process.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST
