Apprenticeships: A coming of age!


 
Back in 2012 the business growth for ONA was such that we took on Kyran, our apprentice. The concept worked well for where the business was currently at, at that time. It offered an opportunity for new blood to come into ONA, plus supported young talent in the I.T./Electrical marketplace.

I.T. is fairly unregulated [LACK of ACCREDITATION] and so at ONA
we try to stay one step ahead with training and development and
took the option to get Kyran onto an electrical course.

These things are always an experiment, but we are glad to say that our ‘apprentice has now come of age’, has completed his training and is now a qualified Electrician to 17th addition, 3rd amendment standard as well as having been trained on Data installation; fibre optic and copper. All we now have to do is pick up his certificates.

For ONA, we now have new talent within our team.

For us that means we can offer our clients a greater capacity for
our installation service, and can help with some of the additional
requirements that may have normally been subcontracted to
other suppliers. We can offer more of a service provision, by
simply using us as a One Stop Shop; one quote, one purchase
order, one contact.

The apprentice has now become the master!

We have extended the experiment and now have a new Kyran. Thomas has started with us and is now on a 3 year apprenticeship in Electrical and Data installation.

We wish him the very best for his future growth with ONA.
