We're supporting this week's National Apprenticeship Week (#NAW2018). At Magenta Living one of our current corporate objectives is ‘leading by example – ensuring our Board and staff have the appropriate skills to deliver our vision and values.’ Magenta Living has apprentices in order to ensure we are helping develop staff in their chosen roles and responsibilities as well as providing them with on the job training, particularly in manual roles such as bricklayers where there is currently a skill shortage. It is also important that we develop apprentices and invest in them as they will hopefully form part of our approach to succession planning.
