Kleek Apprenticeships’ Post

In our August issue, we share a 5 Minutes With Mandy Mcmullen, the Head of Curriculum and Development at Kleek Apprenticeships, discussing the importance of supporting apprentices in salons ❤️ There are several important ways salons can help their apprentices make the most of their training for future success. 🌍 Creating a nurturing environment: Apprentices should feel comfortable asking questions, seeking advice and sharing their ideas without fear of judgement. Celebrating their contributions can significantly boost their morale and motivation. 💇♀️ Comprehensive training: Salons should offer a structured training programme through an accredited apprenticeship training provider that covers both theoretical and practical aspects of hairstyling. Allowing apprentices to assist with real clients under supervision is vital for them to gain practical experience and build confidence.

We were delighted to contribute to GP Business this month with our feature on how apprenticeships could benefit your Practice. Long gone are the days where apprenticeships might have been seen as a second choice if your grades weren’t good enough. Now, some of the brightest brains in the country are taking a realistic look at the huge price of a university place coupled with the cost of living and opting for practical career choices, with the added value of earning while you’re learning. And, as GP Practices start to embed new models of care, there is a real need to firmly commit to training and developing staff while also investing in new roles. There are so many positives – training existing staff can boost morale and confidence while attracting new people also improves diversity and bridges gaps in supply. Apprenticeships provide a future pipeline for clinical and non-clinical roles, counteract an ageing workforce, and simplify career progression. 🔸Read in full here: https://lnkd.in/dcwxy4pn #PrimaryCare #Apprenticeships Emma Bower Elizabeth Hodgson Channi Singh Simon Woodworth Deborah Pole Ed Ford Heather Ryan Katarzyna Broad Dr Walter Morel John Cosgrove George Gavriel John Stevenson Dr Simona Juverdeanu Tracey Teasdale Clare Nieland Tori Collier
