At GPW Recruitment, we know the value of apprenticeships—not just for businesses, but for individuals looking to kickstart a rewarding career. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Emily, our Apprentice Junior Recruiter, who joined us two months ago as part of her apprenticeship with St Helens College.
Why an Apprenticeship?
Emily chose the apprenticeship route because it offers the perfect blend of on-the-job experience and structured learning. She’s gaining real-world recruitment skills while working alongside experienced consultants, learning how to source candidates, support clients, and understand the ins and outs of the recruitment industry—all while earning a qualification that will set her up for success.
Emily’s Role at GPW
As an Apprentice Junior Recruiter, Emily plays a key role in supporting our recruitment teams. She’s learning how to:
-Source and screen candidates for various roles
-Assist consultants in matching talent with businesses
-Develop relationships with candidates and clients
-Understand industry-specific hiring needs
Her apprenticeship isn’t just about gaining experience—it’s about building a career in recruitment with hands-on training that a classroom alone can’t provide.
Emily said “Working at GPW has taught me how to communicate effectively with people from all backgrounds and levels of seniority, how to manage responsibilities efficiently, and how to adapt to a fast-paced working environment while continuously developing my skills.”
Apprenticeship Success at GPW
Emily isn’t the first person at GPW to benefit from an apprenticeship. In fact, our very own Will Fairhurst, Operations Manager, started his career with an IT apprenticeship at St Helens College. Over the years, he’s worked his way up to a senior position, proving that apprenticeships can lead to long-term success and career growth.
Why More Businesses Should Consider Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships aren’t just great for individuals—they’re hugely beneficial for businesses too. By hiring apprentices, companies can:
-Train talent from the ground up
-Benefit from fresh ideas and enthusiasm
-Fill skills gaps with tailored training
-Increase loyalty and retention
At GPW Recruitment, we see first-hand how investing in apprenticeships helps both employers and job seekers thrive.
