Innovative approaches to building great teams is not exclusively the domain of brand owning companies, but brand owners have always been leaders in the field of talent spotting. The reason is simple, their whole business model is based on maximising quality & difference. They realise that top talent is a critical component in brand building. An asset built on creative thinking; insight and understanding; innovation; long-term thinking and collaboration can only win if it attracts the best people to support its long-term plans. It is why brand-led companies are working to increase their available talent. Key to this is a radical shift in their approach to building more diversity into their recruitment - looking at where people might finish, not where they start from. This is not altruism. It is sound business practice. Degree apprenticeships are one part of a multi-faceted approach to delivering this. As the research states, it is a win-win approach. Brand owners get top talent, the top talent builds their own reputation through the brands they work on. The fact P&G is doing it is all the endorsement we need 👏 Ian Morley . This is another example of what brand do to keep building winning brands. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ef4ihifb #WhatBrandsDo #Brands #DegreeApprenticeships

Embarking on an apprenticeship is more than just acquiring new skills; it's also a voyage into the depths of their potential. 🌟 That is why it is so important to capture the motivations of each apprentice at the start, as a reminder for them during some of the more challenging moments. Upon asking my latest cohort of future leaders, here are a few of their motivations: 🚀 I do what I do because I am passionate about the power of paid social media advertising to help brands and businesses connect with their audience. 🚀 To be able to be a part of this ever-evolving industry and to express my passion for technology and creativity. 🚀 Having an impact on client success. 🚀 I like the idea of helping clients gain access to high-quality financial advice, in a way that makes it as accessible as possible. 🚀 Knowing that I can see how much of a positive impact that I make in people's lives. 🚀 To utilise my best qualities and skills in an industry I am interested in and want to grow in. 🚀 I'm passionate about reducing social injustice. 🚀 I am excited to learn new skills to help me in my job role to drive a positive impact in the business. This shouldn't just be read as a record of their motivations. These are also motivations for current leaders to inspire an answer to the question: ❓ Why wouldn't you want these hungry, driven minds working for and learning with you, adding business impact and a fresh perspective? #Apprenticeships #BusinessGrowth #GrowthMindset #Motivation

🌟 Investing in the Future: The Power of Work Placements and Apprenticeships 🌟 Reflecting on my own journey, I started as a work experience placement right out of university in 2016. That opportunity was a game-changer, setting the foundation for my career growth and success. Fast forward to today, I'm thrilled to share that so far this year we have three incredible work placements learning the ropes with us. Whilst everyone else is enjoying their summer off Uni, Max Lane is grafting at BA HQ gaining some valuable experience. Exactly what I did! Our digital marketing apprentice, Ava Smith, continues to grow into her next stage of development and has become a key part of the marketing function. Starting next week, we have Safah, our latest apprentice recruit, who we can't wait to welcome to the group. Shout out to Phil Kimber for all his support for Ava and Safah. I can't emphasise enough the positive impact these young talents have on our business. They bring fresh perspectives, boundless energy, and a thirst for learning that invigorates our entire team. To my fellow business colleagues/leaders: Embrace the opportunity to nurture the next generation of professionals. You'll be amazed at the transformation and innovation they bring to your organisation. Exciting news: We have another apprenticeship position currently open! 🎉 Check the link in the comments below for more details. 🚀 #WorkPlacement #Apprenticeship #FutureLeaders #CareerGrowth #BusinessInnovation

🚀 Let's be real, hiring young people isn't always smooth sailing, but daily communication is absolutely key. It's all about keeping focus on the right attitudes and behaviours. We have kick-off and kick-down meetings every day to realign with our company vision and emphasise the importance of teamwork and process. Here's a quick clip from Pierre's meeting this morning! Our young people have already sourced Apprenticeship vacancies worth £30,000 and have a potential pipeline worth three times that— all through good old-fashioned cold calling! Meanwhile, our content team has created a company theme tune and is driving recruitment with trend-setting videos on TikTok and Instagram. The recruitment team has confirmed 160 young people will be attending our offices to learn more about our Apprenticeship programme, as well as signing up for our NEET, Adult, and Bootcamp offers. The benefits of this work experience have far outweighed the challenges, and I’ve woken up excited every morning to see these young people thrive. Some will be offered jobs with us, while others are choosing university, college, or sixth form. One confident individual (Junior) even secured his dream apprenticeship through cold calling—nothing beats selling yourself! Huge thanks to all the companies who've supported us— from Bullhorn to C2C, Nike, Bloomberg, and more! We, and the young people, truly appreciate it. 🙌 If you're a business looking to get involved, partner with us, or need talented young people to join your team, don’t hesitate to get in touch! Together, we can shape the next generation of leaders. 💼💡 #Teamwork #YouthEmployment #Apprenticeships #FutureLeaders #BusinessOpportunities
