National Apprenticeship Week
This week marks the 15th annual National Apprenticeship week. A week dedicated to celebrating apprenticeships and the difference that they can make to individuals, companies, and communities.
The theme this year is ‘Build the Future’ which celebrates the skills and knowledge that is gained during an apprenticeship, which helps individuals to prepare for a better future and more rewarding career.
Aaron Services, our heating and hot water contractors, have provided over 14 apprenticeship and work experience placements within their South Essex operation.
They’ve also achieved the Armed Forces Covenant, Employer Recognition Scheme - Silver Award, in recognition of their work welcoming many ex-military candidates into work experience, apprenticeship, and permanent posts, benefiting from the variety of transferable skills and qualities that the armed forces community have been able to bring to their workplace.
Greg Hunter, who served for as 9 years as an Army Paratrooper before becoming an Aaron Services operatives in 2018 gained full gas and additional qualifications under their programme.
When asked to summarise his experience Greg said: “The improver role at Aaron is perfect for anyone getting out of the military and has a mind for fault finding and finding out the ‘why’. With the support of everyone at Aaron everything will fall into place.”
