| Copart UK is investing in over 30 apprenticeships across its business.
After the 2017 government introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy, Copart took the opportunity to invest into apprenticeship schemes and in 2018 piloted an LGV Apprenticeship. The scheme, which offered employees the chance to gain the recognised qualifications and develop the essential skills to become LGV drivers has, to date, produced four successful graduates.
Following the success of the LGV Apprenticeship, Copart went on to develop further apprenticeships for their employees in customer service and team leading, producing another six successful graduates by the end of 2019.
Two team leading apprenticeship graduates have already been promoted into new supervisory and management roles, as a result of their newly acquired skills and training.
Jay Honour, human resources manager, said: “We are continuing to offer apprenticeships at Copart in a wide range of roles to anyone in our business, regardless of their age or their current role. It’s a fantastic personal development opportunity for our people to learn new skills in an area which interests them, gain qualifications and potentially progress within our company.” |
