Whilst we offer traditional FM apprenticeships such as electrical, gas and plumbing, we also provide opportunities for those wanting to explore other areas from Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Helpdesk and Contract Support through to Bid Management. This allows us to shine a light on the FM industry and encourage apprenticeships in all aspects of our business.
To ensure we provide the best opportunities for our apprentices, we often bring them together to network, collaborate and demonstrate teamwork. As part of National Apprenticeship Week, we were delighted to celebrate our Annual Apprentice Day yesterday in a quirky London venue.
The day included our annual challenge, where apprentices were tasked with pitching a new product to five Dalkia Senior Managers. Noel Clancy (Dalkia MD and ex-apprentice), headed up our Dragon’s Den style pitch activity, where apprentices collaborated on a sales pitch for an environmentally friendly product that we could launch across the organisation. Our apprentice teams researched, priced, compared and pitched their products to a panel of managers (most of whom come from an apprenticeship background).
We hosted a speed networking session which gave apprentices the chance to speak with our management teams or recently graduated apprentices. We also heard from one of our Business Unit Director, who gave an insight into how he progressed throughout his career having started as an apprentice.
To conclude the event, we celebrated our fantastic apprentices throughout the day, leading us to crown Bradley #ApprenticeOfTheYear 2022! A huge congratulations to Bradley for winning this award, we look forward to supporting you through the rest of your apprenticeship and the exciting journey you have ahead of you.
