  9. Company Strategy 2011/13 Have you read it? Digby Consultancy 0911

  10. 16-18 Summary • An additional £655 million is to be spent on Apprenticeships, increasing the overall funding on Employer Responsive Apprenticeships to nearly £5 billion in 2011/12. • 16-18 Apprenticeships continue to be a national priority with • 1 million young people in NEET and Key Training’s focus has • doubled the number of 16/18 Starts during this year and aims • to double again in the next 24 months but including 19 year olds where circumstances demand. Digby Consultancy 0911

  11. 16-18 Objective • To double again the number of 16/19 year old Apprenticeship Starts • from just under 1,000 in 2010/11 to over 2,000 in 2012/13 • This will be achieved by increasing vacancies registered from 35 per week • to 60 per week and filling 70% of those vacancies. • In addition, employers on our CRM database need to increase from • 30,000 to100,000. • To minimise ‘6 week leavers’ to less than 10% by adapting the • ‘After Care Policy’ required for these youngsters in their first job. • To maintain our 80% completion rate. Digby Consultancy 0911

  12. The Market Ideal! We are coming out of recession and employers need another pair of hands to help them grow again-at minimum cost. The following quotes from surveys illustrate this point:- “Given the current economic climate, Apprenticeships help business on the route to recovery. Taking on a young, enthusiastic Apprentice will cost as little as £95 per week, with their training costs fully covered” …….National Apprenticeship Service “Apprentices deliver a very real return on investment for businesses. Commitment and loyalty are stronger, skills gaps are filled and staff moral improved” ……Warwick University Institute for Employment Research “Not only are Apprentices good for business on the inside but people prefer to buy from a company that supports young people by employing an Apprentice” …. You Gov “81% of businesses said their Apprentice helped to generate higher, overall productivity” ….. Populus Research “At the moment, only 14% of S.M.E’s know how to access Apprenticeship funding” ….. CBI/ EDI This is why we will be targeting employers with less than 1,000 staff. 16-18 Digby Consultancy 0911

  13. The Opportunity • There are no actual 16/18 Apprenticeship vacancies out there as no employer wakes up in the morning and says “I’m going to take on a 16/18 year old today!”. • It’s our job to put that thought in their mind and, with their help, create a new vacancy for a 16/18 year old with an Apprenticeship. • In the current year, we have created 35 vacancies per week and filled 55% of them – therefore, forecasting to find a permanent job for nearly1000 unemployed youngsters this year – something to be proud of! • This increase in vacancies has been generated by our investment in Telesales Executives which is ongoing as we aim, also, to increase our 16/18 teams where the market demands. 16-18 Digby Consultancy 0911

  14. The Opportunity • In addition, we have tailored our Apprenticeships to specific industries. • This followed our very successful campaign that launched ‘Apprenticeships for Recruitment Personnel’ which, in its pilot, will place nearly 100 youngsters in recruitment companies. • In turn, this has resulted in the stamp of approval from REC (the Recruitment and Employment Confederation) where we have been approved as their only business partner for delivering Apprenticeships to their members (over 4,000 branches awaiting our call!) • This has led to the development of more industry-tailored Apprenticeships in our offering : • Estate Agency • Insurance • Legal • Renewable energy • Call centres • Children and Young Peoples Workforce 16-18 Digby Consultancy 0911

  15. 16-18 • Our Aims: • To convince those who have a vacancy for an experienced adult • to take a 16/18 year old apprentice. • To convince those who don’t have vacancies that they should • take on a 16/18 year old apprentice. • To convince those who are laying off staff to • take on a 16/18 year old apprentice. • To convince employers who don’t have a budget, or think they can’t afford it • to take on a 16/18 year old apprentice.

It’s a valid point, however…..(question)

  47. Objections can be Sales opportunities From a customer’s point of view, a genuine objection could be: 16-18 A request for information We simply haven’t told the customer something he/she wants to know. A lack of understanding The information we have given has not been expressed clearly enough. A desire to defer The customer needs to consult someone else before committing himself. Not completely ‘sold’ We have not done our job convincingly, perhaps not sold the benefits strongly enough. A buying/closing signal The customer is close to saying ‘yes’ but needs a little more reassurance or help. If we can give a satisfactory answer, we may well be able to close the sale.

  48. 16-18 Formula 1. Listen (don’t interrupt or talk over!!) 2. Acknowledge and check understanding ( empathetic responses, questioning and summary) 3. Answer (using benefits to outweigh the objection) 5. Verify (does this satisfy the query made?) 6. Close and/or continue Digby Consultancy 0911
