FOCUS ON education

with Weymouth College

As the new curriculum year started, it was great to see so many students – of all ages – enrolling on courses, starting apprenticeships and actively looking at the many career options open to them as they continue to develop their career plans.

We can report that the apprenticeship pathway very much remains a strong career and employment option for both new apprentices and employers.

The college continues to work with local employers developing new apprenticeship areas and supporting new government backed training opportunities – such as Skills Bootcamps and Multiply – for recruitment and upskilling both new and existing members of staff. We have seen a strong growth in local employers looking at development options for their staff – with a noticeable emphasis on the promotion of training benefits as a support to recruitment.

With this growth in mind, Stacey Howlett recently joined the Employer Services team at Weymouth College in the role of employer engagement consultant.

Stacey started her career in education over 10 years ago and for the past eight years has been a relationship manager with a focus on building strong relationships with learners and business owners. When offered the opportunity to work in an education setting supporting employers on a wider scale she jumped at the chance. Stacey is passionate about the role of apprenticeships within local business and is already working to support local employers with their training needs and recruitment solutions. We are very pleased to welcome Stacey to our team.

Some news for 2023 – we will be launching a new range of traineeship opportunities – designed to prepare 16-24 year olds for progression to an apprenticeship, employment or further learning – if you would like to find out more about this development and potentially become a member of our curriculum supporting industry advisory panel please get in touch. Talk to us today and find out more about how we can work together to build a skills-led future for the Dorset workforce. Email: employerservices@weymouth.ac.uk Call: 01305 208709

Your first class Poole Audi experience, now enhanced with handpicked local partnerships

Poole Audi is pleased to work in partnership locally with The Boat Club, Fired Up Collective and Broadstone Golf Club. Through these partnerships, Audi customers receive a first-class experience in Dorset, enhanced with a range of additional benefits.

Operating from Parkstone Bay Marina, The Boat Club’s aim is to offer all the wonderful and unique experiences of owning a boat; without the inhibitive costs, time-intensive maintenance, and the restrictiveness of just one boat type. For a one-off joining fee and fixed monthly payment, you can enjoy unlimited access to the fleet of 24 plus boats, ready and waiting for you to step aboard and enjoy your time on the water. Membership boating is the natural choice for the modernday boater.

The multi-award-winning Fired Up Collective operates hospitality businesses across the Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Wimborne area including Zim Braai and Nusara Thai, The Old Thatch Pub, the Wimborne Pizza Co and Stapehill Stores, offering a multi-award-winning African braai, expertly crafted Thai food, your quintessential British pub, fresh handmade pizza and your local Dorset artisan shop & florist.

Set in the glorious Dorset countryside, Broadstone Golf Club is one of the finest examples of an unspoilt heathland golf course in the South of England, and deservedly sits in the Top 100 golf courses in the UK. Within 250 acres of rolling terrain, the fairways run freely and separately through superb natural heathland with its swathes of heather, pine, gorse and rhododendrons and several holes offer magnificent views for miles around.

These partnerships mean that in addition to enjoying the latest Audi performance, technology, and luxury, Poole Audi customers can enjoy exclusive experiences and benefits in Dorset. www.pooleaudi.co.uk
