Case Study

The problem:

AWE relies on apprenticeships due to the scarcity of skilled talent. However, its hiring assessment process was not fit for purpose:

Higher-quality candidates were dropping out of the process before the final stage 
35% of people were leaving in year 1 of the apprenticeship scheme
It was not educating and guiding young people towards a role that would suit them 
7% of new hires were leaving within 5 days of starting the role
