Employers’ experiences of apprenticeship training
We have utilised apprenticeship training for both additional training of our existing personnel and for the training of employees who have changed another field of work altogether. Our cooperation with Vamia has gone well every time, and we have gained valuable expertise in our team.
– Jussi Kempus, Nordic Electro Power Oy
Apprenticeship training is a flexible and low-cost solution for recruitment. We got two awesome trainee cooks, who both surprised us with their positive attitude as well as their business skills. Based on the evidence obtained during the internship period, it was easy to continue their employment with an apprenticeship agreement. I think it’s important to keep in mind that apprenticeships aren’t just about training – they are also about finding real experts to place into your team. I feel that the apprenticeship gives the employer an advantage in the recruitment market. Amazing discoveries can be made among the diamonds in the rough.
– Erika Syri, Campus and Event Manager, Juvenes Oy, Vaasa Campus
I recommend apprenticeship training to all employers. I think it’s the best and fastest way to find the right employee for your needs.
At first, of course, the teaching takes a little time, but it pays off. Because students also do client work, they practically earn their own salaries. Thus, the apprentices have a minimal impact on the company’s finances. In addition, cooperation with Vamia works smoothly. So, all things considered, I think that apprenticeship is an effortless and profitable way to recruit new members to the workforce.
