The launch of Moulton College’s new Business Apprenticeships scheme is set to help local employers shore up their succession planning.
The Operations Manager Level 5, Team Leader Level 3, and Administration Level 2 apprenticeship programmes can be tailored to meet the specific needs of individual businesses and even delivered onsite at the company’s premises.
Moulton also offers distance learning options in Digital Marketing and Business Administration at Level 2, in conjunction with Learn Direct provider Pearl.
Debbie Scotton, Head of Growth, Innovation, and Partnerships at Moulton College explains: “We recognised the need to deliver flexible and business-focused apprenticeships that can support Midlands-based employers with succession planning, particularly those with an ageing workforce and specific skills gaps.
“By bringing our apprenticeship programmes to the workplace, we can flex around the needs of businesses, whatever sector they are in and however they would like to approach the upskilling of their existing staff.
“Our offering is relevant for a range of different businesses and aimed at adults already in employment who have been identified as managers and team leaders of the future. Each programme can be custom branded, with Moulton College’s expert Business Studies staff delivering theoretical units and practical skills tailored to the hosting organisation’s sector and objectives.
“Our flexible offering also means apprenticeships can begin at any time of the year and be delivered at the business’s premises alongside a monthly one-day workshop at Moulton College for a minimum of 15 months.”
Debbie adds: “Our apprenticeship offering is designed to help fill local skills gaps and enable businesses to transition existing staff into more senior positions.
“The modules are business-fit, whether that is a focus on finance, technology, and industry trends or skills like teamwork, communication, and people management, with the apprenticeships empowering employees with the skills, training, competencies, and knowledge needed to prepare them for new challenges. In turn, this improves staff retention for the employer, driving down the cost of recruitment and ensuring business continuity.
“By partnering with local businesses, we can help their employees gain much-needed skills and create a committed and skilled workforce fit for the future.”
