What's The Deal With Apprentices?

You may not have considered apprentices for your business before, but the pros definately outweigh the cons, it might suprise you just how they can help your enterprise.

  • Why Choose An Apprentice?

    This represents the cornerstone of the entire process. Apprentify thoroughly comprehends your growth and development aspirations, offering guidance on whether apprenticeships provide the ideal solution for your enterprise.

    For Vocate, it extends beyond merely filling vacancies; we’re committed to providing young people with an alternative pathway to achievement whilst simultaneously developing your company.

    That’s precisely why we exclusively collaborate with employers offering salaries of £10,000 or above. Similarly, we solely seek apprentices demonstrating genuine enthusiasm and determination for their professional journeys.

    If they’re simply after employment rather than career development, they aren’t suitable for our programme.

  • Attracting Talent

    Through really understanding your requirements, needs, culture, position requirements and ideal candidate profile, we can initiate our outreach campaign to thousands of potential apprentices throughout England.

    Vocate’s objective is to draw in suitable candidates for your organisation in the most transparent and straightforward manner conceivable. We aspire to establish an enduring professional relationship with your company, which means the seamless execution of the entire process is equally vital to us. Our commitment extends from the initial consultation through to the completion of the apprenticeship journey.

  • Accessing A Diverse Talent Pool

    Vocate has a distinctive methodology specifically designed to attract and cultivate exceptional talent – individuals who are equally enthusiastic about committing themselves to you, the employer, as they are to advancing their professional development.

    Beyond conventional recruitment techniques to identify suitable candidates, we conduct regular weekly evaluation sessions to gauge applicants’ capabilities, alongside assessing their proficiency in essential skills (mathematics & English) and digital marketing competence. This comprehensive approach allows us to evaluate our prospective apprentices’ aptitudes whilst determining their motivation, dedication and existing proficiencies across various domains including creative composition, digital literacy, and technical prowess.

  • Choosing The Right Candidate

    Following our thorough assessment process, we’ll provide you with a carefully curated selection of candidate profiles. Each of these candidates has been comprehensively evaluated against all essential competencies required to excel as a digital, creative, or technical apprentice.

    We are equally prepared to collaborate with your existing recruitment infrastructure and personnel if required, ensuring equitable opportunity for all staff members. Upon placement confirmation, we’ll support you with establishing all necessary apprenticeship funding arrangements, health and safety protocols, safeguarding measures and other regulatory requirements.

    Our team will guide you through each stage of the process, making it as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible. By this juncture, you’ll be approaching an invigorating period as the apprenticeship commences.

  • 1-2-1 Support

    We recognise that some employers prefer to avoid sending their apprentices to external locations, which often involves considerable travel time. With this consideration, we’ve designed all our programmes to be accessible remotely through a balanced combination of individual tutoring sessions and collaborative group learning experiences.

    As digital technology evolves continuously, so to do our programmes in parallel with these changes. Vocate’s focus is to prioritise quality of learning, convenience and accessibility to deliver the best outcome for learners.

  • Virtual Training

    Whilst our programmes are comprehensive, it’s our mentors who truly ensure that your apprentice’s journey reaches its full potential. We take great care in selecting coaches who are industry leaders with substantial professional expertise. We take particular pride in appointing our coaches based on two essential criteria:

    1. Effective communication forms the foundation of a fulfilling experience. Despite their demanding coaching schedules, you can rest assured that your dedicated coach will contact you as soon as possible.
    2. Exceptional client care underpins every aspect of their professional approach.

    Importantly, every team member at Vocate stands ready to assist, encourage and support you whenever needed.

    We deliver a genuinely bespoke and personalised service.

  • Journey To Excellence

    Apprenticeships involve an extensive range of knowledge acquisition, skills development, and behavioural advancement. Recognising that organisations require greater specialisation, particularly in marketing, digital, business administration, and Sales, we strive to exceed the standard apprenticeship to equip apprentices with the options to excel in their respective roles.

    This enables further development in specialist fields such as social media management, website development, programming, data/analytics, or lead generation strategies for future career paths.
