Young Enterprise North East

OMG.... No not the Usher song, but Outstanding, Magnificent, Gob ‘smackingly’ great...
Hi my name is Uel J. Readioff from First Aid Today UK Ltd, I was asked to support a Young Enterprise North East event in a small way to help it run smoothly.
Outstanding, Magnificent, Gob ‘smackingly’ great...
That’s exactly what I saw at a Young Enterprise event last month; talent bubbling over, enthusiasm brimming and the biggest proudest grins in young adults I’ve seen in ages.
As an avid supporter of Young Enterprise, I have had 8 years experience working with young adults and this year they have blown me away with their vision, entrepreneurial skills, drive and ambition.
An apprenticeship might just be the answer to an employer’s prayers looking to grow their team.
Often overlooked for their lack of experience young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 are the secret to helping your business success, grow and expand.
Full of fresh ideas, fresh drive and ambition and a real tonic to any team in my eyes. Engaging just one apprentice in your business is enough to help raise staff confidences, morale, your business profile and show your peers you’re a forward thinking company. With young adults, we ourselves remember what it was like to be 16 again.
However, now apprenticeships are being delivered as training programmes that allow a young adult to gain real work experience, study for a qualification and get paid all at the same time.
An apprenticeship is a structured programme of training which gives young adults an opportunity to work for employers learning on the job, building up knowledge and transferable skills that will be needed throughout their working life.
