Why take on an apprentice?
Apprentices train while they work, learning all the technical and people skills needed to help bring customers, income and profit to your business.
- An apprentice can take over customer care and clinic or salon tasks, freeing up you and your senior staff to bring in more income and profit.
- Apprentices build their own client base as they learn.
- You can train an apprentice from day one to fit your clients and your brand.
- Research shows employers see a return on investment after taking on an apprentice.
- Succession planning – secure your staff for the future.
Winner and draw
There will be one randomly selected prize winner per industry. The winner can allocate the tickets how they see appropriate – e.g. employer and trainer, employer and senior staff, employer and apprentice, trainer and apprentice etc. We would encourage the winner to take someone from their workplace who will benefit professionally from the experience.
HITO will ask for video footage taken at the event to be shared with them to use for profiling and advertising purposes.
After the event, HITO will profile the winner about their experience, including about what they learned and gained from attending an international industry expo.
