View HERE"HERE AT RPC, A FAST EXPANDING IT CONSULTANCY BASED IN GUISELEY, WE HAD A REQUIREMENT TO BOOST OUR WORKFORCE."
"Apprenticeships wasn’t a route we had initially considered. It seemed like it might be a nightmare to organise, but using Shipley College made the whole process very easy.
From advertising the jobs, receiving CV’s, placing the students and all the paperwork involved, this proved to be a well oiled process within the college. Once on-boarded, we were kept informed on progress, both through the on-line portfolio application and regular visits from Shipley College personnel.It was always our intention to offer any apprentices a full-time position and I’m pleased to say this has worked out successfully for both RPC and the apprentices.
For the record we have taken on two IT apprentices, one Digital Marketing apprentice and a T-level placement. It is our intention to recruit again later this year and we will have no hesitation in reaching out to Shipley College once again."
