Since March, Starting Off has helped Ricoh find four bright young apprentices for their Northampton office. Three of them are currently working in the accounts department whilst the fourth is currently working in the facilities department. It can only be good news that such a well-established company is embracing apprenticeships and giving local young people the opportunity to build a career.
Tony, Future Talent Manager at Ricoh, said: “We are delighted with the programme we have put in place with Starting Off, and have four apprentices in place. The programme provides the perfect balance between on-and-off the job learning, and enables us to track weekly development.
“The individuals we have taken on are a credit to Ricoh. Their desire to develop a career, at the same time as getting qualified and gaining valuable work experience, is admirable. They are laying the foundations for successful careers.
“Starting Off has a real passion for apprenticeships and is committed to developing and supporting the workforce of tomorrow.
Every responsible business should look to employ apprentices: they bring fresh ideas in to the business. Ricoh is proud of its apprenticeship programme and its work with great providers, like Starting Off.”
