Apprenticeships, They’re Not As Old Fashion As You Think
Apprenticeships ensure that Glendale and Civic Trees have a steady flow of practical employees with the skills and qualifications now required to undertake basic arboricultural tasks.
Basic skills issues have long been a concern for Arboricultural Companies, with the ever-increasing costs of training and assessments.
“I always thought that hiring an apprentice was very old fashion and would prefer to employ the right minded young person and train them up over a few years, but the apprenticeship programmes are now very well planned and put together by professionals for the professional industry” Ian Haynes, Regional Arboricultural Manager – London & South East.
The candidates get on the job, practical experience that is tailored to the individual and Glendale’s working style, teamed with the technical knowledge apprentices acquire from the educational provider. Training Arborists in this way means that Arborists joining the industry have the knowledge and skill base they need to provide quality tree care.
Apprenticeships are pioneering and are shifting with the times, as well as being established and proven to work; they are an outstanding way of recruiting new and motivated young staff into an ever-increasing, highly experienced industry.
“I believe that there is a strong future with Arboricultural Apprenticeships in Glendale and given time, they will help us deliver a more competitive edge against our competition” Ian Haynes
