Apprenticeship Are Vital, But Are They Reaching Their Full Potential?

This blog explores the shifts in focus and perspective which will help ensure individuals and business receive the full benefits apprenticeships provide.

Watch Now

When you align vocational talent with timeless principles of human effectiveness, you create apprentices who thrive.

With employees needing to adapt and stay fit for purpose at a pace not imagined prepandemic, apprenticeships play a critical role in unleashing talent and closing today’s skills gap. However, this gap only stays closed if individuals adopt the ‘soft’ skills which make ‘hard’ skills usable. No matter how competent you are, without the right mindset potential and performance will always hit a limit. Unfortunately, changing how we communicate, prioritise, engage, and lead others often gets overwhelmed by the need to get the core job done.

This is where a partnership with FranklinCovey comes in. Across 40 years we have created over 30 courses proven to change behaviour from the inside-out, fundamentally shifting how people think and optimising the way they work both alone and with others.

To help you avoid what OFSTED describes as “insufficient focus on developing apprentices’ workplace or wider skills”, we complement your role-specific expertise with powerful personal development content delivered through innovative technology designed to reinforce lasting behaviour change.

Partnering with FranklinCovey can strengthen your business, transform your learner experience and make more possible.

Change behaviour, don’t just tick a box

Start from the inside-out. Everything we do is driven by the understanding that the results we get depend on what we do. What we do depends on how we see the world. If we want to get better results, we have to begin by changing our mindsets.

When you start by addressing who apprentices are (character) and how they see things (mindset), you ensure new skills and behaviours are firmly rooted, authentic and future-proof. You alter how they see themselves, work alone and influence others.

Our principle-centred content is designed to transform and reinforce these effective mindsets, making growth continuous.
Stay aligned to what OFSTED wants from you to stay exceptional

In determining a provider’s overall effectiveness, inspectors will make graded judgements on the following areas using the four-point scale:

✓ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
✓ QUALITY OF EDUCATION
✓ LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
✓ BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDES

With a particular focus on character, resilience and positive contribution, we are uniquely positioned to support providers in addressing the Personal Development Requirements of OFSTED, under both the Education Inspection Framework the Further Education and Skills Inspection Handbook.
Future-proof with flexible, scalable technology

With a live-online experience honed across a decade worth of delivery, innovative easy-to-use platforms, award-winning videos plus the option to train as many of your own facilitators as you need in our content, you’re able to sustainably expand your scope whilst staying relevant to learners.

Our principle-centric content fuels development to increase learners’ skills and capabilities. And with flexible delivery modalities including Live-Online, Live In-Person, On Demand, and Microlearning—our content meets learners where they are.
Give apprentices control in their jampacked days with Microlearning
Getting to grips with the dos and don’ts of today’s fast-changing workplace can be difficult, whether you’re entering it for the first time or changing responsibilities. Navigating them can even start to detract from our ability to get the core job done.

Plus, our friendly, informal style makes even the most challenging subjects feel manageable.

- A weekly email newsletter option for both managers and individual contributors.
- Access to two libraries (manager-focused and individual contributor) on a single website.
- Mobile-optimised user experience for easy access on any device.
- Quarterly engagement reports so you can see what’s trending with your apprentices.
