Hull-based Spencer Group has reached a major milestone in its apprenticeship programme, with this week’s seven new recruits meaning it has employed more than 50 apprentices in just five years.
The latest intake of young talent includes five engineering apprentices and two IT Services apprentices. They will join a growing number of Ron Dearing alumni who have taken up full time positions in Engineering, Commercial, Project Management, Design, Marketing, Planning, IT Service and Computer programming.
As founding partners of Ron Dearing UTC, Spencer Group works closely with students from year 10 onwards with attendance at open events and career expos. The business also provides ongoing support including Work Experience Programme, Interview Skills training, Mock Interview practice, Professional Behaviours and Employability Skills training.
The relationship between Spencer Group and the school has created a productive pipeline of fresh talent for the engineering industry as well as opening up exciting and rewarding opportunities for young talent.
Charlie Spencer, Executive Chairman and founder of Spencer Group, said: “Employing our 50th apprentice in just five years is testament to the dedication and hard work being put in by staff at Spencer Group, Ron Dearing UTC and other employer partners to ensure there’s a pipeline of young talent within the city.
“It’s fantastic to see the positive impact the apprentices are making on the business as they develop into their full time positions.”
