As a company operating in an industry which will rely ever more increasingly on STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), Open GI has a special interest in promoting the development of local talent in this area. To strengthen this Bernadette Pelster, Open GIâs Chief People Officer, is an employer representative on the Worcestershire Future Skills Board and works closely with Christopher Whitehead Language College as one of its Careers Enterprise Advisors.
It was this keen interest in the development of STEM skills that has led Open GI to develop and invest in its apprenticeship scheme, which has gone from strength to strength since it began two years ago. The company has supported a steady stream of apprentices and currently employs ten individuals across various functions in the business, including: HR, Marketing, IT, Sales, Support and Development.
This year, with a proven track record of success in the development and retention of many apprentices, Open GI felt it was the right time to seize the opportunity of being recognised as a quality apprentice employer in Worcestershire. A nomination at the Worcestershire Apprenticeship Awards provided the perfect opportunity to achieve this.
