Apprenticeships

Share

The following blog has been written by Hayley O’Reilly-Murray, our Head of Learning and Development.

 

As we near the end of National Apprenticeship Week, I’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate all colleagues who’ve completed an apprenticeship programme this year. We are proud of everything you’ve achieved – and we hope you are too!

I know from personal experience how hard it can be to study and work at the same time. It involves juggling priorities at work and at home, and takes dedication and commitment.  I’ve witnessed that this is something we have in abundance across our apprenticeship and trainee communities, and elsewhere, here at HSE.

I also know that studying can at times feel like an uphill struggle, but ultimately the rewards for our personal development both professionally and personally can be life significant.

Therefore, this message of celebration extends to all the line managers, mentors, learning providers, and colleagues across many teams who have a direct impact on the experience of our apprentices.

With this in mind, I was humbled to read messages from colleagues about their experiences that I’m sure they won’t mind me sharing:

Since joining FOD as an apprentice in February 2021, I’ve been highly impressed by the level of support I received during my remote onboarding process due to the COVID 19 pandemic. My Line manager, fellow team members, higher management and colleagues from other teams and divisions, made sure I settled in great. I’ve enjoyed studying towards my Level 3 NVQ in Business Administration, provided by Knowledgepool, and it has been a great opportunity to increase my skills and understanding of the sector. 

This is my first experience of working in the Civil Service, and from day one I’ve been inspired by the dedication and professionalism from all HSE colleagues from wide and varied roles, who collectively contribute to amazing work.  Thank you.

Luke Towner, FOD apprentice

One of the big benefits of the programme is that it’s been centrally-funded training on skills which are at the heart of my team. Previously, we’ve had to construct our own training programme and invest time in designing and delivering this. However, the apprenticeship scheme has done all of this for us. It’s meant my apprentice has had a sustained programme of learning, with external tutors and moderation, ensuring their skills were developed against national accredited standards.  

Their day-to-day project management work has re-enforced and complemented this learning. The one-day-per-week release for the apprenticeship work has been manageable for all involved and given my apprentice the space to concentrate on their development.  

Finally, I‘m pleased to say my apprentice will soon complete this qualification and will have the confidence to apply what has been learned through this scheme in the rest of their HSE career.

Dave Smith, ITF, line manager to internal colleague on Level 4 Project Management

I welcomed three new apprentices in 2021, who have all been talented, eager individuals and have therefore become integral parts of the team. Their commitment to the job has been inspiring and given our team a real boost.

Summer Foster, FOD, line manager to three Level 3 Business Administration Apprentices

Apprenticeship programmes are available on a variety of levels and offer progression options for colleagues in all different parts of our organisation. To find out more about apprenticeships in general, visit the Apprenticeships website.

We wish all colleagues undertaking an apprenticeship the best of luck in their journey ahead and look forward to more opportunities and seeing what can be achieved in 2022!
