Learning on the job

Our apprenticeship programme started in 2013. As a business we identified the need to grow from within, so we looked at the type of skills an apprentice would need to start with and what they would need to learn during the course of the apprenticeship.

Our apprenticeship programmes typically last for two years, with our apprentices beginning in entry-level IT jobs, such as fielding calls to experienced colleagues. There are also potential opportunities to work in the Administration, Finance, Sales and Marketing Teams.

Our apprentices can expect two annual appraisal meetings, training programmes and a twice monthly progress meeting. We encourage our apprentices to develop quickly - the programme is rewarding with plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and to progress internally.

”Essentially, we look for apprentices who will be good with customers and have a can-do attitude, and we’ll train them to do the rest.

Circle IT’s motto is hire for attitude and train for skills, and this is why our apprenticeship schemes work so well for us”

As a dynamic IT solutions company, a large portion of our workforce work in a technical role, but we also have a number of non-technical staff who work across a variety of different departments.

Our roles include:

> IT Service Desk Support> Field Engineers> Project Engineers> Finance Staff > New Business Sales> Internal Sales> Account Management> Marketing> Operations> Human Resources> Administration

Each of our Team Leaders run regular 1-2-1s with their teams, and the use of coaching is encouraged throughout the business. Departments meet once a month to review their performance and to be kept up to date on key changes within the business.

Collaboration between teams is strongly encouraged and working groups are often set up to tackle specific projects, with each team bringing a different view to the table.

Regular department briefing meetings allow our staff to update the rest of the team on the projects they are involved in and are a great informal environment to discuss ideas or put new suggestions forward.

We constantly remind our employees that they ARE our business and every single one of them contributes to our success, with collaboration and sharing at the heart of this.
