This is becoming increasingly important in the advent of Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re delighted to have welcomed seven new apprentices to the Boulting family and will be watching their progress in earnest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After being accepted onto the programme, each candidate is provided a unique framework for their chosen career and a personalised learning and development plan that they work towards.<\/p>\n<p>They are also assigned both a mentor at Boulting Group and a training officer outside the company, who monitors their progress and ensures what they are learning as part of their chosen NVQ, is being demonstrated in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Upon successfully completing the programme, apprentices obtain a NVQ Level 3 and have the opportunity to continue their career at Boulting Group.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of apprentices that join Boulting take on permanent roles, including Carl Gannon, quality co-ordinator and planning manager, Paul Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Boulting Group apprentice, Robbie Stanley claimed two prestigious Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) awards in Manchester and the North West, a testament to the company&#8217;s dedication to training future engineers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boulting Group has appointed seven new apprentices across the business as it continues to bridge the skills gap in the industry.
