Rocket science? Apprenticeship training is also said to bring three other advantages. First, it helps organisations in their efforts to plan for the orderly succession Second, it affords employers an opportunity to take young people and socialise them into the relevant organisational culture, so that they acquire the values and habits –such as the importance of adhering rigidly to the relevant procedures – Third, the provision of apprentice training can signal to young people that they are valued by their employer, who will support them and give them the opportunity to develop their career within that organisation, thereby helping to build apprentices’ loyalty and commitment to the employer that initially trained them.
