Apprenticeship Recruitment: The Secret to Success

As part of National Apprenticeship Week, BIFA is running an online event for members that will assist in navigating the perceived red tape around recruiting apprenticeships.

Carl Hobbis, member services director at BIFA, who will host the event, said: “With most of our members being SMEs and following our own experience of employing our first two apprentices, we thought it would be a good idea to share our own journey to help members.

“With large employers having teams to look after these processes, such as creating your digital account, as an SME ourselves we were nervous at first, but like with these things which seem daunting, it was quite easy.

“So, we want to encourage the 1400 plus BIFA members who are SMEs to do the same and hopefully give a young person an opportunity in logistics.”

The event which lasts 45 minutes, you will learn about:

• Costs
• 10 Tips for employers
• Recruitment
• Interview tips
• Onboarding

Hobbis adds: “I will also be joined by Brooke Neilson, BIFA Communications and PR apprentice and attendees will hear first-hand from her and her experiences.”
