04 Nov 2024
LACA, the school food people, has released a guide that helps to bust eight myths about apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships offer many benefits for school catering teams such as future-proofing the workforce, it boosts morale, fresh talent brings fresh ideas, builds loyalty and it helps to grow your own leaders.
The eight apprenticeship myths LACA helps to bust include:
- Apprentices are just for younger people
- Apprentices are going to blow up your budget
- Why would someone with a degree want to do a Level 2 or 3 qualification
- Apprentices take up all your time with mentoring
- Apprentices are only useful for entry levels tasks
- Once the apprenticeship is over they will leave
- Apprentices are only for full time employees
- You need to be a ‘technology wizard’ to complete an apprenticeship
LACA has developed four industry and sector specific Apprenticeships in partnership with national training providers HIT Training and Cambrian Training. Find out more here.
