Last Tuesday, we held a special Insight event for the nine new Stamping Group apprentices who are joining us in September!
This is the first time we have hosted an event on site ahead of the initial induction and it was designed to give the apprentices a whistle-stop tour of Halewood, as well as the chance to meet with some of teams they will be working with.
Hannah Potter, Technical Excellence Leader at Halewood, said: “We haven’t had our apprentices come in early before- Stamping Group are the first to pilot this- so it was a unique opportunity, designed to give our soon to be starters a sneak peak of where they will be working over the next few years.
“As well as the tour, the apprentices got to put their questions to the Stamping Group team and were really engaged and enthusiastic about the whole day. The feedback we have has been brilliant, so we are keen to do more Insight events like this with our new starters.
Halewood employee, Michael Maloney who is starting his first JLR apprenticeship in September, said: “I didn’t know if an apprenticeship would be for me as I thought I was too old to go to college as I’m over 40. Then I saw people coming through into Halewood from the programme which I why I enrolled I can’t wait to start now!”
Christopher Vaughan, who also starts his apprenticeship in September, said: “There was lots to take in at the Insight event and it was great to meet with the people that I'm going to spend the next 4 years working with.”
