Grass Roots: extending its apprenticeship scheme across its UK offices

Grass Roots has extended the reach of its apprenticeship scheme beyond its headquarters in Tring to encompass its other UK offices.

The organisation said the expansion will mean roles will be made available to apprentices wishing to take on a position in any of the company’s four divisions.

These include Employee Solutions, Customer Engagement, Promotions & Incentives and Meetings & Events.

Grass Roots launched its apprentice scheme four years ago for its three offices in Tring and Wendover, with the aim of sourcing talented young people and supporting them through a fast-track development programme.

During this time 12 apprenticeships have been offered, each leading to securing a full-time position within the company.

Trish Breen, HR business partner, runs the scheme and said: "It is a pleasure to watch these fantastic young apprentices growing into their own full-time positions. They are adding value across the business and we have had excellent feedback from all the line managers that have taken them on."
