• Our recruitment process

  Haddon Training offers a FREE recruitment service and there’s no finder’s fee for placing an apprentice. We advertise on different platforms and can reach up to 300,000 eager young people looking for apprenticeships. We carefully match our applicants to your requirements and pre-screen them to check they are eligible and suit the specifications of the job role.

  A member of our team will work with you to ascertain what kind of learner you are looking for:

  • What level of experience is required.
  • What the job role of the apprentice will be

   

  We will then advertise that position for you free of charge on our advertising channels.

  Applicants will then apply and our expert team will call each one to assess their suitability. If we feel they have the appropriate experience for the position, we’ll then give the candidate your details to arrange an interview.

  Once you have chosen your learner, we will organise an enrolment with one of our qualified Trainer-Coaches, who will come out and sign the learner up to the relevant programme.

• Training

  Our vocationally experienced Trainer-Coaches have a vast wealth of experience from working in the industry. They are experts in their field and know how to help learners achieve in supporting your business.

  For all our apprentices, a designated Trainer-Coach will visit the learner on-site every 4-6 weeks to coach, support and mentor them throughout the programme.

  Our Trainer-Coaches will also want to meet you regularly to discuss the learner’s progress, help develop them in areas where their skills may need improving and ensure that everything is on track.

• Safeguarding and Welfare
