iRG’s new apprenticeship programme is proving a resounding success with 15 new starters joining the scheme in the first three months.
The programme has been introduced to educate and attract talent from outside the industry and highlight the progressive, diverse and lucrative career paths available.
The company now aims to expand the programme by working with other repairers to create more opportunities and a wider mentoring support system. It has already successfully referred candidates to other repairers and currently has 10 more on a waiting list, seeking placement.
iRG said, “We appreciate this may be a little out of the norm, as typically repairers tend to view each other as competitors, but our approach here is not only to ensure a strong and sustainable future for iRG, but for the industry as a whole, which we can only do by working together.”
