Apprentice Recruitment Process

As an added value service to employers, Inspire offers a Free Apprentice recruitment service which sources candidates, pre vets them for suitability and ensures that they can meet the demands of the technical elements of the Apprenticeship qualification. Employers are then invited to interview potential applicants to ensure a cultural fit with the organisation. Prior to entering into an apprenticeship, Inspire Middlesex College works with the learner on a programme of self-development, including interviewing and CV writing, motivation and confidence building and a thorough induction programme commencing with an in-depth Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) session, BKSB diagnostics to identify improvements in English and maths, introduction to working with Inspire Middlesex College, expectations of the Apprenticeship delivery programme, roles and responsibilities of the Apprentice, employer and Inspire. In developing the individual Learner Plan (ILP) additional Learning Support needs are identified and planned into the delivery programme.
