A leader in the vocational training space, the business offers a range of quality apprenticeships designed to optimise vital hands-on skills development for aspiring engineers.
The business will be celebrating the ten-year anniversary of its award-winning Apprenticeship Academy later this year, spotlighting the incredible successes of the programme to date. This remarkable new achievement recognises the business’ commitment to investing in the future of the engineering sector as well as continuous improvement and development of its training offering.
The Kitemark is achieved by taking part in Next Gen Makers’ Best Practice Programme, backed by Make UK, which endorses exemplary employers of engineering apprenticeships.
The accreditation positions the business at the same level as global giants such as Siemens, RBSL, Collins Aerospace and many other like-minded firms.
Benchmarking employers’ approach against industry best practice, the accreditation process evaluates businesses’ efforts on criteria including training quality, apprentice support, and overall programme effectiveness.
adi Group’s Apprenticeship Academy nurtures young students with a holistic approach, training them in key areas of their chosen engineering discipline with tried and tested methods from highly skilled in-house trainers.
adi apprentices are further supported by its Apprentice Mentoring Scheme, designed to ensure every apprentice has the support they need to be successful along their journey, as well as helping them develop skills of importance in the world of work that go beyond engineering knowhow.
Commenting on this milestone, Alan Lusty, CEO of adi Group, said: “We are proud to have been recognised among an elite group of engineering and manufacturing companies with a shared mission.“Our unwavering commitment to excellence in apprenticeship training and development is intrinsic to our business – it stems from a desire to protect the future of engineering and help close the skills gap in the industry.
“Since the start of our apprenticeship academy, we have endeavoured to create a nurturing environment where apprentices can thrive and develop the skills necessary for a successful career in engineering.
“This accolade is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and innovation that characterises our approach, and our pledge to nurture the next generation of engineering talent.”
