BAJ Announces Apprenticeships Webinar For Employers

02 Aug 2023

British Academy of Jewellery is excited to announce an online webinar for employers to join the team live and learn the finer details of the Apprenticeship programme.

Online, on Wednesday, the 9th of August, employers will have the opportunity to gain valuable insight into the Apprenticeship programme, funding, and delivery, receive guidance on recruiting an Apprentice and have the chance to ask the team questions in a dedicated live Q&A. 

The BAJ Apprenticeship programme is in line with the new Standard for the Jewellery, Silversmithing and Allied Trades Professionals, which promotes a closer working relationship between employer and training provider. By encouraging apprentices to pursue specialist pathways, employers are able to develop and nurture talent in line with the needs of their business. 

Richard Bevan, Quality Control Manager of Hockley Mint, explains the mutually beneficial nature of the programme, saying,

“As employers, we can train [apprentices] specifically for available positions, ensuring a perfect fit. Additionally, what makes apprentices appealing is their lack of established habits, which means they come with a fresh perspective and a willingness to learn. Their enthusiasm and adaptability foster innovation and growth within a company. By embracing apprenticeship programs, we can invest in the individual’s future and the development of a skilled and committed workforce, leading to increased productivity and success for us and the British jewellery industry. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement that nurtures a strong partnership between employers and talented individuals in their own communities.” 

Join the British Academy of Jewellery’s Apprenticeship Webinar to hear about how apprentices could benefit your business and bring new talent to the jewellery industry!
