Our goal is to transform you into a fully competent technician, ideally open to accepting a full-time, permanent position within the team, with opportunities for progression in the future. Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise Experience Whilst previous experience is great, we at Tiro are always open to wildcards. We're not just interested in experience and qualifications; we're looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at The Willow Learning Trust. Qualifications It's about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be upfront about what they do and don't already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role! About You To succeed in this apprenticeship, you'll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn! You will be incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about a career in IT, with a confidence in communicating, working independently and as part of a team, and excellent timekeeping and attendance. Even if this doesn't sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We're always open to wildcards. So how does the apprenticeship work? At Tiro we're obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can't wait to have you on board. Over 18 months, you'll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job' training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments). Together this will count towards a Level 3 Information Communication Technician Apprenticeship. You'll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at The Willow Learning Trust who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you'll need to succeed in your career. Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you'll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment. The best part? You'll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme! Want to know more? Check out the apprenticeship standards here. Eligibility While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you'll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government. You'll need to be over 16, not in full-time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years and have the right to work in the UK. If you don't quite meet these minimum requirements yet, let us know you're interested here and we'll get in touch to discuss this further with you.
