The FS Cables Apprentice Programme is a Government approved initiative offering work based training designed around a specific job role. Each young apprentice spends time working in all areas of the company before returning to their host department. This allows them to experience each aspect of our operations first-hand and to see how each department can contribute to first-class customer service. Our apprenticeship schemes offer opportunities to college or university leavers looking to start their careers with us or to our existing staff looking to build their knowledge and gain professional qualifications whilst remaining in work as they learn. Our apprentices have acquired recognised qualifications in fields such as sales, procurement, customer service, finance, and operations, whilst crucially gaining on-the-job experience within our business throughout their studies. We work closely with apprenticeship providers to ensure the quality of teaching and support our employees receive is the best it can be.
In 2020 we had three of our apprentices successfully complete their qualifications with us in sales, business administration and procurement. All of whom have continued to succeed in their roles at Shoal Group; taking on more responsibility and developing as successful professionals within their fields.
Mark Taylor, Shoal Group MD commented “Shoal Group are keen to bring on board and support talented young people to help develop their careers in wide ranging areas of our business, these opportunities are extended to more established team members in preparation for their next step career progressions where we remain keen to promote from within as the Group continues its growth journey”.
