The Business Apprenticeship program gives students the ability to enter the workforce supported by a learning framework. Students earn while they learn and will gain a general understanding of how a business works by completing 8 business fundamentals modules over time.

Students gain knowledge through New Zealand based case studies and relevant business podcasts delivered by the Spinoff’s Business is Boring series with further resources to engage directly back into their business to apply the learning around some razor sharp focused questions and activities.

Over time students will complete all 8 modules, making them more business ready and in a position to make the next career or study move based on some relevant experience and learning.

Many employers are willing to invest in young people but lack the framework to deliver meaningful training. Typically external training is expensive and hard to measure return on investment.

The Business Apprenticeship gives staff the ability to pick and choose specific business topics to increase their understanding of how a business works. The learning encourages staff to take the learning back into the business and apply it to their day to day work, lifting productivity and leading to better decisions and outcomes.

Employers will gain a learning structure that will upskill younger staff and make them more business ready. Having a program such as the Business Apprenticeship in place builds on an employers brand and attracts the best young people into their business.

The Business Apprenticeship program is built around 8 business fundamentals modules. Additional content is available through the subscription framework and we have the ability to scope, design and deliver a individual course on any range of topics specific to your business. We can use examples and case studies from your business and interact with your key managers to find out what they need young people to learn and adapt our program to suit.

Courses can be designed and managed by your company to deliver very select training to staff. Examples are CRM training, induction, customer service or soft skills. We find that staff are more loyal and engaged with employers who are providing opportunities to learn and develop.
