National Apprenticeships Week

Why We’re All About Apprenticeships at pirkx

It’s National Apprenticeships Week, and we’re here for it! At pirkx, we know apprenticeships are more than just a “training program”. They’re a game changer for both businesses and individuals. They offer real experience, real skills, and they’re one of the best ways to kickstart your career.

Why Are Apprenticeships a Total Game Changer?

Apprenticeships aren’t just about getting a qualification. They’re about learning on the job, getting used to tackling real world challenges, and building the kind of skills that employers actually want. Whether you're starting out in tech, marketing, or even wellbeing (that’s us!), apprenticeships let you get hands-on experience while still learning and earning.

We believe apprentices bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and an eagerness to learn. All qualities we want in our team.

The Benefits for Employers

Let’s face it: apprenticeships are a win-win. For businesses, they’re an investment in the future. Apprentices bring new perspectives and ideas, which is exactly what we need to keep moving forward. And if we’re being honest, some of our best team members started as apprentices.

It’s also a brilliant way to build the kind of workforce you want—one that’s motivated, skilled, and, most importantly, aligned with your company values. At pirkx, we value creating an environment where everyone feels supported, and apprenticeships help us do that by bringing in diverse talent that brings something new to the table.

Diversity is Key

Speaking of diversity—apprenticeships are one of the best ways to make sure everyone has an opportunity to succeed. They give people from all backgrounds the chance to gain experience and start a career path without the pressure of traditional routes. We’re all about making wellbeing accessible and inclusive, and apprenticeships help us stay true to that mission.

What’s Next?

This National Apprenticeships Week, we’re celebrating the power of apprenticeships. Whether you’re looking for your next career move or a company looking to bring in new talent, we’re all about supporting growth and learning. Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to build a career from the ground up, and we’re proud to offer opportunities for the next generation.

So, let’s raise a glass to all the apprentices out there—thanks for helping us build a brighter, more inclusive future.
