Intermediaries Now Boast a Transformative Tool to Turn Employer Hesitation into Apprenticeship Adoption
DENVER, Aug. 24, 2023 - Apprenticeships have emerged as a viable avenue for employers to secure a skilled workforce. Yet, misconceptions and anxieties often deter employers from embracing this strategy. For intermediaries, this poses a challenge: how to convince employers of the merits of apprenticeship programs and assuage their concerns? Enter Apprentix.
Research indicates that employers often hesitate for several reasons. Primary among them are the perceived inefficiencies of training, the costs associated, and doubts regarding the alignment of skills acquired by apprentices with the actual job requirements. Intermediaries, tasked with facilitating these programs, need a powerful tool to counter these concerns effectively.
Intermediary Challenges vs. Apprentix Solutions:
Challenge: Employers want to hire just-in-time and think external hires already know how to do the job.
Solution: Apprentix offers custom training plans tailored to an employer's exact needs, ensuring new hires get up to speed quickly and effectively, even if brought on board at the last minute.
Challenge: The daunting administrative load associated with running and monitoring multiple apprenticeship initiatives.
Solution: Apprentix allows intermediaries to manage multiple apprenticeships for different clients by providing a skills-based training planner, automating job descriptions, tracking apprentice progress, and ensuring consistent training without added complexity.
Challenge: The high costs associated with turnover and the challenge of retaining apprentices post-training.
Solution: Over 90% of apprentices using Apprentix complete their program, compared to the 50% national average. Data shows that retention rates of apprentices trained with Apprentix are higher than those trained through other methods. A win-win for employers and intermediaries alike.
