AJE and NEWCo join The 5% Club
AJ Engineering and NEWCo have showcased their commitment to developing its people by joining The 5% Club, an industry led initiative focussed on the recruitment of apprentices and graduates.
The 5% Club is a movement of more than 1,000 employers providing ‘earn and learn’ opportunities to develop the skills and talents people need to become more employable and create meaningful careers.
Companies joining The 5% Club commit to raising the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formal programmes to 5% of their total workforce within five years.
AJE and NEWCo have always shown a commitment to investing and developing its workforce through its successful apprenticeship scheme. In fact, the AJE workforce is almost made up of 10% of apprentices already, so joining The 5% Club was an obvious pathway for the companies.
Gill Cronin, Director of Operations of The 5% Club said, “We’re delighted to welcome AJ Engineering and NEWCo into membership. The 5% Club provides a fantastic network of HR and L&D professionals, sharing and learning from each other. All our members share an ethos of creating a skilled workforce through ‘earn and learn’ development programmes, helping people develop meaningful career paths.”
