[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Have you just started training an apprentice? We\u2019ve put together a few tips that will help you get the best results for them and your business.<\/p>\n

Find out what they need to learn<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you take on an apprentice, you\u2019re responsible for training and supervising them. Their organisation will take care of facilitating their training and assessing, but it\u2019s important to understand what\u2019s involved for them to get credits. Be sure to contact their organisation if you\u2019re unsure about anything.<\/p>\n

Make sure they\u2019re learning the right stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to follow the training plan so your apprentice doesn\u2019t end up in the position where they haven\u2019t done the right work to pass. Sending them on errands may be tempting, but try not to assign them too many jobs that won\u2019t offer learning opportunities. Regular check-ins are a good way to see if they need any more support from you.<\/p>\n

Work in study time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apprentices need to complete written studies in order to pass and receive their credits. It can be tough trying to fit in their study while working long days, especially when they are starting out. This means they\u2019ll need your support to try and balance their workload and study. A great way to support this is to work some study time into their schedules. Once they get up to speed and gain more experience, you can increase their workload.<\/p>\n

Set out your expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setting expectations at the start of the apprenticeship helps them understand exactly what they need to do. This can include rules such as showing up on time, communicating, and being respectful. Show them the ropes of working on a job site so they don\u2019t become that one guy who never tidies up his tools.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”related-post”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Related articles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%2313143e” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title my-5″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ orderby=”rand” item=”918″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1649107733447-14d4ccf7-9536-0″ el_class=”related-posts mx-auto mt-3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
