Social Events WhiteHat Apprentices cite ‘being the youngest in the office’ as one of their biggest challenges to starting their apprenticeship. We are helping them build a professional and social network across the WhiteHat Community to support them in their training and development. WhiteHat apprentices will be planning and delivering social events for each other in 2018. Mentoring Scheme WhiteHat launched a Mentoring Scheme in November 2017 for all of their apprentices and graduates. They are paired with an inspirational young professional who is successful in their field to help expand their horizons, build their networks and support their development.
Brand Champions Apprentices can apply to take part in the Brand Ambassador Scheme. This gives them a chance to visit schools and take part in events where WhiteHat is represented. They will develop their presentation and marketing skills and provided on the spot feedback on their practice to help with their development. Training Events and Insight Days WhiteHat Apprentices can attend optional training events helping them develop key skills such as building a personal brand and how to communicate effectively. This complements and strengthens the teaching and learning which already takes place and makes them stand out in the workplace.
Next Steps, and Graduation Events Once our apprentices have completed their apprenticeship we want to make sure that they have made it to an exciting next step that will propel their career forwards even further. Our ‘next steps’ career sessions and WhiteHat coaches will support our apprentices in making well informed decisions about the future. Alumni Events Keeping in contact with our apprentices is really important. We want to know how they are doing, keep them connected to each other and our mission and help them if they need support in making a career move. Events could be social or professional training events.
