I.T. Transforming futures through learning

ONA have always invested into the I.T. industry, as this is our lifeblood. As you will note from one of our recent articles that we are keen to ensure that people in the industry stay in the industry, as they enjoy it, but also can see the opportunity for their development within this exciting and expanding industry. We have our own current Apprentice, who has gone on to study and develop into an extremely important part of the ONA installation team. Being an expert in the installation of data and fibre cables, the ‘Liquorice Strands’ that we love so much. 

We found the process works, and as such we wanted to introduce QA Apprenticeships to you.

Here is what they say.

“QA Apprenticeships delivers world class IT Apprenticeships and we have recently opened our brand new training centre within The Engine Shed at Bristol Temple Meads.

I essentially work on behalf of young adults in the Bristol and Bath area who are searching for routes into IT careers other than going to university.

At present we have several young adults who have a passion for IT and are eager to start their IT career and apprenticeship asap. I am reaching out to local companies as they require an employer to take them on in a full time position so that they can begin their training and careers.

The apprenticeship model can be useful for bringing in first line resource, which can free up time with more senior staff (not having to perform basic tasks such as password resets, logging tickets, break-fixes etc.) and also allows you to shape and mould your talent for the future. It can also be a very cost effective method of bringing this type of resource in, typically under or around £10k p/a to employ someone in the department, allowing you to maximise your budgets.”

If you wanted contact them direct, they are based in the Engine Shed Bristol.
