Challenges for Our
Apprentices
How can we support our
apprentices throughout their
training and ensure they are
prepared fully for their next
steps? The Future Leaders
Foundation.
WhiteHat launched a Mentoring Scheme in November
2017 for all of their apprentices and graduates. They are
paired with an inspirational young professional who is
successful in their field to help expand their horizons,
build their networks and support their development.
Mentoring Scheme
WhiteHat Apprentices cite ‘being the youngest in the office’ as one
of their biggest challenges to starting their apprenticeship. We are
helping them build a professional and social network across the
WhiteHat Community to support them in their training and
development. WhiteHat apprentices will be planning and delivering
social events for each other in 2018.
Social Events
WhiteHat Apprentices can attend optional training events helping
them develop key skills such as building a personal brand and how
to communicate effectively. This complements and strengthens
the teaching and learning which already takes place and makes
them stand out in the workplace.
Training Events and Insight Days
Apprentices can apply to take part in the Brand Ambassador
Scheme. This gives them a chance to visit schools and take part in
events where WhiteHat is represented. They will develop their
presentation and marketing skills and provided on the spot
feedback on their practice to help with their development.
Brand Champions
Keeping in contact with our apprentices is really important. We
want to know how they are doing, keep them connected to each
other and our mission and help them if they need support in making
a career move. Events could be social or professional training
events.
Alumni Events
Once our apprentices have completed their apprenticeship we want
to make sure that they have made it to an exciting next step that
will propel their career forwards even further. Our ‘next steps’
career sessions and WhiteHat coaches will support our apprentices
in making well informed decisions about the future.
