Birmingham Business, the Bugs Group, celebrates National Apprenticeship week by offering another young apprentice a full time job!
A high apprenticeship retention rate will be celebrated by the Bugs Group this week as they offer another young adult a promising career.
The Bugs Group specialises in children’s fitness, working within the community, schools and nurseries. Through, YogaBugs, DanceBugs, FootieBugs and MulitBugs they make exercise fun for all, by combining imagination and sport and ensuring all children have a positive experience in sports from a young age.
Bugs Group General Manager, Lisa Applebee, says “As a company we develop children through physical activity, it is great to also be able to help young adult kick start their careers. Often young adults are given ‘bad press’ about their attitude to working, and this really Bugs me as we have had a great experience with apprentices. They are the heart of our company, bringing enthusiasm, willingness to learn and fresh ideas to the Group. I would recommend the apprenticeship scheme to all companies”.
The Bugs Group are proud to be part of the apprenticeship scheme and have found and developed really valuable members of their team.
Demi Foy, the Bugs Group administrator & social media guru is the latest apprentice to accept a full time position at the company and talks about her experience as an apprentice:
“I chose to do an apprenticeship as I wanted to work and learn and earn money at the same time and it could lead to a full time job at the end”.
“The biggest challenge I faced when I joined the company was adjusting from such a small part time job to such a busy, large working environment”
“The Bugs Group is a fun and loving company, I have always wanted to work with children, and the and at the Bugs Group, children are at the heart of everything we do.”
Demi Foy accepted her full time role this week and the Bugs Group are searching for their next superstar!
