News: 100 in 100 success in Rotherham
Rotherham College of Arts and Technology (RCAT) and the Source Academy have surpassed their goal of recruiting 100 apprentices in 100 days.
The 100 in 100 Challenge began in February with the goal of recruiting 100 apprentices into apprenticeships in 100 days. The campaign hopes to boost the presence of Apprenticeships in the area and to help the local economy.
In total, 108 apprentices were recruited within Rotherham businesses during the 100 day period in the joint effort between Rotherham College and the Source. The partnership between the two has played a key role and ensured its success, raising overall awareness on the benefits of recruiting an apprentice and the impact it can have on a business.
Stephen Casey, head of Business Improvement at Rotherham College, said: "The entire 100 in 100 campaign has been a real success and the feedback from both employers and apprentices has been fantastic.
"To over achieve on our objective is phenomenal and we couldn’t have done this without the support of The Source and Rotherham Businesses.
"The aim is to now keep this momentum going working with the local business community offering people that first step into employment via an apprenticeship."
The Green Group, a Maltby based company, had never used apprentices before but decided that it was a great way to help the local community and a secure the future for a handful of individuals.
Due the company expanding in the last four years from a small distribution company with only a couple of trucks to having around a fifty vehicle fleet, they were in desperate need of more staff. They decided to come to Rotherham College for apprentices to work and train at the company.
Now they currently have three apprentices training with them covering a range of apprenticeships from HGV Mechanics to Accountancy to Administration.
Rebecca Wharmsby, commercial executive at The Green Group, said: "This is the first time we have had apprentices working for us and are very happy indeed."
