As you know, Hertfordshire based HB Accountants is passionate about apprenticeships. We have won local and regional awards for our bespoke accountancy apprenticeship programme, 42% of our team are apprentices or former apprentices, and we often give talks in schools, colleges and to businesses about the benefits of apprentices. We also sponsor a trainee accountant in Zambia with her tertiary studies. Needless to say, we are very excited that National Apprenticeship week is nearly upon us as it delivers a great opportunity to share our latest apprentice news and encourage you to also consider how an apprentice will benefit your business.
You all know that HB is passionate about education and skills training – and our many awards showcase our commitment. We are currently supporting Zambian-student Gertrude, to complete her financial training. We do this through the reputable and impactful African Impact Foundation. Investing in education is a sustainable way for us to ‘give back’ and help people, and we’re pleased to extend to Africa just part of the training and support that we offer in Hertfordshire through apprenticeships, work experience and career guidance.
At HB Accountants, we’re committed to helping young people explore their career options. That’s why we’re thrilled to be part of Hertfordshire Futures: Generation Stortford, a local careers fair designed to connect students with employers and showcase opportunities for life after school. Whether you’re curious about accounting, finance, or other fields, we’re here to guide you and share insights into potential career paths.
T Levels are a 2-year, national qualification for 16-19 year olds and are an alternative option to A Levels and apprenticeships. Students choose to study T Levels as they offer hands-on training alongside traditional academic study as 80% of the time is in the classroom with 20% on a minimum 45 day placement with an employer.
At HB Accountants, we’re passionate about supporting young people in their career journey, which is why we’re excited to be attending Hertfordshire Futures, Generation Hertford – a fantastic local careers fair aimed at giving students exposure to real employers and insight into the choices available to them after school. Whether you’re interested in accounting, finance, or other professions, our goal is to help you understand your options and explore potential career paths.
