Making your apprentice welcome (and thrive)

ThePeopleAlchemist Edit: HR, Business and apprenticeship
One of the keys to making an Apprentice feel welcome is a good induction process that offers continued managerial support. This could potentially be the difference between learning, failing and then learning again or, worse still, someone leaving or staying in the organisation.
It is also equally as important to prepare the existing workforce to ensure they are fully equipped to welcome and support the new starter, and they have sufficient time and the skill/knowledge to be able to train/coach someone else.
Having an on-going contact with schools helps both the employer and the apprentice being better prepared and ready for a fruitful experience for all.
