National Apprentice Week 2024

Enrichment Events

National Apprenticeship Week 2024 was a chance to recognise the skills and knowledge that the next generation of talent has to offer, and to celebrate not only our apprentices who are currently working towards their qualifications, but also our apprentice graduates who are now taking the next step in their careers. Across the week, our teams were in attendance at various careers fairs and events, promoting FM Conway and our learning opportunities to our wider communities.

We welcomed apprentices to our head office in Sevenoaks to participate in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style workshop. The workshop focused on how digitalisation can improve a business, with the aim to operate as a simulation which would develop and assess entrepreneurial skills and provide feedback on our apprentices’ ability to work effectively in teams. To assess their abilities, the participants were given the challenge of developing and pitching an idea to our ‘Dragons’ on how to improve FM Conway in terms of digitalisation and efficiency.

We welcomed our first ever T-Level students, Annie and Milly, to the business, which marked a new avenue of recruitment for FM Conway. We also hosted our apprentices at Conway House for our first Apprentice Enrichment Event of 2024. It was a great day, which gave our apprentices the opportunity to give feedback on how we can improve the current programme and learn about what they look for in a career to ensure they are properly supported.
