Apprentices – the lifeblood of the FM industry

Employing and developing the right people is the key to success in any FM business and apprenticeships is a fundamental part of that strategy.

That’s why we place such great emphasis on finding the right people and creating the kind of environment where they can develop and flourish, both professionally and personally. Our apprenticeship programme is an important part of that strategy, providing the seed corn for the next generation of quality Q3 people.

We currently employ seven apprentices who have taken the steps to further develop themselves within the sector and pursue their career aspirations. You might expect Q3 to concentrate on trade apprenticeships, but we have quite a diverse spread of apprenticeships in non-traditional areas, including HR, Finance, Sales and Team Leadership. We’re constantly encouraging employees to consider apprenticeships and have new additions taking them up all the time.

During National Apprenticeship Week, we will be honouring the progress of those individuals who are part of our apprenticeship programme, learning just what they are gaining from the time and effort they are investing, and how it is helping their career progression.

For most, the apprenticeships have not only broadened their knowledge, but also boosted their confidence and independence, allowing them to accept greater challenges and responsibility in their day-to-day activities.
