*An offer of permanent employment is not guaranteed but is contingent upon Apprentice performance and qualifications and EQA need.
_________________________________________________________________________
The idea of this program is:
To get smart, hard working individuals who are eager to learn and grow-- specifically in those positions where we are struggling to find people who are willing to put the time and energy into developing their skills to meet our expectations.
It is a “sell” to people who are focused on “what does this job do for ME?” -- by explicitly framing it that way for them.
Giving us an opportunity to train and “try out” individuals before offering them permanent employment. Also building a pool of individuals who might stay in contact and apply for positions in the future.
Tradeoffs
Apprentices are expected to learn and grow but could not be expected to arrive with the skills of a permanent hire
Apprentices will work full time but will need 1 more “planning” block than a “normal” position
A leader's time (3-5 hours a week) would go into teaching, coaching, and mentoring
Since we don't have enough money to pay for double staffing, this only makes sense financially in positions where having a “learner” is possible.
