Last week Oscar hosted The Instil Podcast where he was joined by Caleb and @_richardkirk from @_workplus to discuss the benefits of apprenticeships and why they are a great way to start a career in software development. Here is a link to the podcast: https://t.co/oXDsDv9rjM

Kicking off #NationalApprenticeWeek by chatting to @_richardkirk from @_workplus with Oscar and Caleb about their experience as apprentices at Instil. Check in later this week for the full interview. #InstilPassion #InstilConfidence

Can't wait to see the final cut!

📽️@automatedintel are excited to share some behind the scenes shots of an upcoming collaborative video with @_workplus where our Apprentice Software Engineer, Kombo, talks about his role, the importance of #apprenticeships in the workplace and his reasons for a career change.

Sheer magic for the kids across the aisle. Amid the shrieks of delight one shouts “I LOVE THE BUS!”. Nice work @Translink_NI

With a little bit of planning, places can draw away from the mundane

Final speaker at ALC conference @_richardkirk from @_workplus explains how the organisation links apprentices with employers. He also provides an insight into the reality of apprenticeships.

What’s the craic, kraken?

🚕 Taxi driver to 💻 software engineer. These are the doors that apprenticeships open. “I wanted to do something with my life…I thought I was capable…I needed something more”. Inspiring words from @automatedintel apprentice, Kombo. Thanks @BBCMarkSimpson #growyourown 🌱

FSB UK Chair of Policy & Advocacy @tinamckenz representing SMEs at @Conservatives Conf giving a robust Northern Ireland reception to @trussliz @KwasiKwarteng @Jacob_Rees_Mogg & @scullyp calling for urgent resolution of the NI Protocol and no delays in energy payments for NI biz

Sad reading. If more universities, young people, employers, parents and schools catch the vision for degree level #apprenticeships we would avoid this. Apprentices earn from the start, have no student debt, are mentored and drop-outs are negligible

Thanks to @FSB_NI & @SteveBakerHW for the conversation today. Candid and positive. Feeling optimistic about the ability of business to find ways to grow.

📌Great to have our local member @_richardkirk featured in the FSB Skills Hub giving useful support on all things Apprenticeships. Lots of helpful information for small businesses in the hub. Visit now https://t.co/JWBisgIVAb @FSB_NI @_workplus @bjkpropertyhot1 @niallparf

"It's not a case of university or an apprenticeship. It's university as an apprentice. They get the best of both worlds"

Talent and potential are not determined solely by academic results. There are multiple routes to reaching the next level. #Apprenticeships can give you a world class opportunity to earn while you learn. Small businesses often tell us that attitude and motivation are what counts.

Great to hear @_richardkirk on @BBCgmu discussing Apprenticeships- i am passionate about supporting Apprenticeships and other pathways into work & qualifications- what could be better than earning & learning and getting the edge on skills & experience!

“Gathered together that all may thrive”. Beautiful surroundings for great conversations. Exciting work being done by @WestofEnglandCA @_WTPN to help businesses find their future workforce

…and apprenticeships are delivering jobs now rather than the hope of one at the end of a full-time college/uni course
