Full Credential Description
Pell Frischmann, a specialist advisory and technical consultancy in the built and natural environment, faced the challenge of establishing a skilled workforce to support their rapid growth after re-establishing in Manchester in 2018 with only one employee. To address this, they implemented a comprehensive apprenticeship program aimed at developing a diverse and future-ready workforce. This program not only focuses on skill development but also integrates apprentices into the company culture from day one, allowing them to contribute to real projects immediately.
The tailored solution involved a structured induction and training program that encourages apprentices to engage in various departments and specialisms, fostering a well-rounded experience. Each apprentice is paired with a buddy and a mentor, ensuring consistent support and development through regular one-on-one meetings. This approach not only enhances the apprentices' learning journey but also strengthens their connection to the company and its values.
As a result of this apprenticeship program, Pell Frischmann has successfully cultivated a loyal and skilled workforce that aligns with their corporate culture and service offerings. The program has proven to be an effective strategy for succession planning, ensuring that vital skills are transferred and that qualified candidates are prepared to step into key roles as needed. Additionally, the apprentices contribute to the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals, providing measurable benefits that underscore Pell Frischmann's commitment to responsible business practices.
