Cian Short of Bakkavor explains the importance of the Level 3 Food Technologist Apprenticeship and the Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship for the company's future sustainability and innovation within the sector.

In 2017, the Government gave our industry two amazing opportunities when it announced that it was going to introduce the Apprenticeship Levy and give businesses the opportunity to create new apprenticeship standards. Since then, these processes have taken some time to bed in, with many people complaining about certain, unwieldy parts of the system that need to be updated or can, at best, be described as ‘frustrating’. I cannot pretend that the system is perfect, but I can tell you that I believe people need to give it a chance, as the bottom line is companies have never had this much financial support to develop our people.

Bakkavor的Cian Short解释了3级食品技术专家学徒制和6级学位学徒制对于公司未来在该领域的可持续性和创新的重要性。

2017年，政府宣布要引入学徒征费并为企业提供创建新学徒标准的机会，为我们的行业提供了两个惊人的机会。从那时起，这些过程花了一些时间来解决，许多人抱怨系统的某些笨拙的部分需要更新，或者最多只能描述为“令人沮丧”。我不能假装这个系统是完美的，但是我可以告诉你，我相信人们需要给它一个机会，因为最重要的是公司从来没有这么多的财务支持来发展我们的员工。
