HARD-WORKING Sanctuary Group employees are celebrating their success at the 2017 Worcestershire Group Training Association (WGTA) Apprenticeship Awards.
Charlotte Meade won the Excellence in Accountancy award while William Pargeter picked up the Personal Development accolade at the awards ceremony.
William was praised for his dedication and ability to produce accurate and detailed work, while Charlotte was commended for her work ethic, willingness to go the extra mile and ability to think ‘outside of the box’.
Almost 30 of Sanctuary Group’s apprentices also received recognition having achieved a range of qualifications, including Level 2, 3 and 4 Apprenticeships in Accountancy and Level 2 and 3 in Business and Administration.
The double success is the latest in a string of accolades scooped by Sanctuary in recent years at the awards, which celebrate vocational training through apprenticeship programmes designed to prepare young people for key jobs in local business
Sanctuary’s national apprenticeship programme has been running for 10 years, during which time almost 1,400 young people have been supported into work.
Apprentices on the programme work in the group’s operations, studying for qualifications whilst gaining valuable on-the-job experience.
Placements include housing, IT, maintenance, finance, horticulture, business and administration, and health and social care.
Nicole Seymour, director of corporate services, said: “We are delighted Charlotte and William have been recognised with these awards, which reflect their hard work and commitment to their apprenticeship programmes.
“As a major local and national employer we are committed to developing new talent.
“The continued success achieved by our apprentices reflects how valuable our apprenticeship scheme is, both to our business and young people’s careers.”
