Summer 2010 saw the launch of the Learning Unlimited Apprenticeship Academy. The Academy currently employs 12 Apprentices aged between 16 and 25 working towards level 2 and 3 Apprenticeships in a professional setting. The main objective of the Academy is to prepare these young people for the world of work and support them to secure sustainable employment beyond their time with us. |
We have successfully placed over 70% of our Apprentices into secure employment out in industry and have received excellent feedback.
The Apprentices within the Academy support the business development activity for Learning Unlimited. They have played an instrumental part in the employer engagement strategy, enabling us to provide specialist recruitment skills to employers throughout the East Midlands. The success of the Academy has resulted in 1674 Apprenticeship starts in 2010-2011 – more than double the Apprenticeship starts for the previous year.

“Being part of the Academy has been fantastic. I was able to gain experience of being part of a real working environment; at the same time as allowing me to develop the necessary skills needed to take with me to new employment. I was given an insight of what to expect and what was expected from me, in the position that I was applying for. The recruitment team helped to find a suitable place of employment for me in my local area, as well as preparing me for the interview in order to get the job.” Anthony Murray Sales Apprentice - now employed at Martin & Co, Chesterfield |
