So, you\u2019ve heard of the saying Diamond in the Rough? This phrase is generally used to describe someone of great potential that simply hasn\u2019t been refined or developed enough to be appreciated (or used) as much as they should be. Or even more so, because they\u2019re talents are hidden beneath the rough, they are not being exposed to their full potential! It takes quite a Keen eye to spot out a diamond\u2019s worth. It might even cost a bit of money and patience to bring out it\u2019s fullness in the refining process. But once refined to its full potential a diamond can be very valuable. Sometimes you have to put in to gain more. So, although a diamond can be expensive, see it as an asset and not a liability.<\/p>\n
You may be wondering what has diamonds got to do with anything? Well imagine someone told you that if you invested \u00a31,000 in a diamond today, as long as your refining process is carried out correctly with structure and patience, that same diamond will be worth \u00a315,000 or more in the next 3 years. Would you invest? Now, if we\u2019re honest, most of us wouldn\u2019t think twice about a 14k plus profit. The only question we would ask is \u201cSo all that is required is to carry out the refining process correctly and I will receive a 14k plus profit?\u201d. Sounds simple enough to me. Now replace yourself with your company, change the diamond to a trainee and swap the refining process to the training process. You hadn\u2019t thought of it like that had you?<\/p>\n
Ok now I\u2019m interested, but how does this benefit my company?<\/strong><\/p>\n In the most basic form, developing talent will increase motivation and loyalty and in turn strengthen the leadership of your organisation. Hiring trainees is a productive and effective way for an organisation to improve the effectiveness of the workplace. With Brexit being around the corner, it is very likely that there will be a skills shortage due to the inability to fill job roles with trained Europeans. This could mean that now more than ever is the right time to think about hiring a Trainee\/ Apprentice. Some benefits include but are not limited to the following;<\/p>\n Think about it; an employee knowing what to do and exactly how you want it done, some may even exceed your expectations!<\/p>\n How does this benefit the trainee? <\/strong><\/p>\n If you are considering entering a trainee or Apprenticeship role; there are many benefits to an employee working and studying. It can be hard studying and gaining all the academic and theoretical experience and then not knowing how to apply this when it\u2019s time to get stuck in to the practical, which is why a trainee option could be the best option for you. Some benefits on training on the job are;<\/p>\n Employees often look for candidates that can work under pressure. It is seen as quite a valued ability to have. This is because in every company, changes and unexpected events can and do often occur. Sometimes regardless of how well organised you are; pressure can hit like a ton of bricks. However, working and studying strengthens your ability to respond to pressure and stress effectively, which means that ton of bricks may be manageable after all. So, when you look at it as a whole; you will gain academic, theoretical and practical experience, receive an income and gain the necessary skills to succeed all as a result of working and studying. Forget killing 2 birds, how about killing all 5 with one stone!<\/p>\n Why am I so certain Hiring\/ applying for a Trainee Role works? <\/strong><\/p>\n Great Question! Having completed a Level 2 NVQ Apprenticeship in Business and Administration and now working full time while studying towards my AAT Level 4 Professional Diploma in Accounting I certainly know all about the benefits, costs and struggles of a Trainee Role. Having experienced both aspects; I can assure you that for both the employer and employee the struggles and the costs will be worth it in the end! My advice would be to always remember that \u2018Good investment brings high returns and knowledge and education secures a good financial future\u2019. For both the employer and employee, either way it\u2019s a win win!<\/p>\n At Oursourced ACC we pride in our ability to train young\u00a0 Accountants and offer a range of Training roles and option where you will be given the opportunity to work on real Accounting projects and deal with HMRC under the supervision of our accountants to learn the skills and be practically competent to take on your role on completion of your studies.
