Several ECA Members have been recognised for their commitment to employee development by joining the 5% Club, an industry led initiative focussed on driving momentum into the recruitment of apprentices, graduates, T-Level students and sponsored students.
The ECA Members recently recognised by the initiative include:
- Balfour Beatty
- BGEN
- Dodd Group
- ESG
- Vinci
The 5% Club is a movement of more than 1,000 employers providing ‘earn and learn’ opportunities to develop the skills and talents people need to become more employable and create meaningful careers.
“Becoming a 5% Club gold member and expanding our apprenticeship programme underline our commitment to invest in talent development and fully support employees, working at every level and in all business units, to grow and develop with us,” says Robin Whitehead, chief executive at ECA Member firm BGEN.
“We’re passionate about investing in the next generation and we’re proud to offer vital hands-on learning for people, equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to achieve professional growth.”
Companies joining The 5% Club commit to raising the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formal programmes to 5% of their total workforce within five years.
Members are also asked to publicly report their progress in their Annual Report.
