HCA apprentices – Navneet Binning

Apprenticeship Week 2015

So far…

2012: First 2 HCA apprentices - with our IT team in Gateshead

The scheme has now been rolled out to

other parts of the Agency

We’ve provided Cabinet Office with details of our experiences & given them ideas on their

apprenticeship scheme

Navneet Binning

One of our newest apprentices, joined HCA as Legal Assistant in November 2014

“Choosing to work for HCA is one of the best choices I have ever made. I am glad to be working with people who are willing to teach me everything I need to know, as well as the 'basic' admin duties.

My line manager is doing a wonderful job training me. I am now able to process legal documents. I am enjoying my time here.

“Navneet is so keen and eager

which makes it all so much more enjoyable.” Janine Freed,

mentor

All in all, I am proud to say I

work for HCA!”

I am learning much more than what I expected

Apprentice schemes have numerous benefits!

We’re helping young people struggling to find work gain

essential skills & prepare them for their future careers

Everyone wants to help apprentices settle in

& progress

Working with apprentices can improve staff

morale for existing staff; helping young

people to develop can be incredibly

motivating

It provides opportunities for

personal development, eg

through mentoring apprentices

We’ve found apprentices are eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the HCA as the organisation which has invested in them.

An apprentice is with HCA because they want to be – they have

made an active choice to learn on the job and a

commitment to a specific career

They are good ambassadors for the HCA!

We benefit from the creativity & new ideas apprentices

bring, an increase in productivity at affordable cost; and taking

on apprentices can improve our reputation with stakeholders, partners & public

We’ll be recruiting more apprentices across the

Agency in the coming year, so watch this space.

Let’s hear it for apprentices!
