At Prestige Recruitment, investing in people has always been part of the culture. That’s why the team chose to work with Avant Skills Academy to support an apprenticeship that delivers real impact — not just for the learner, but for the business too.
Having come through the apprenticeship route themselves, the team at Prestige Recruitment understood first-hand the opportunities apprenticeships can create. The decision to take on an apprentice was driven by a desire to pass those opportunities on and support the next generation into meaningful employment.
From day one, Stacey, the apprentice, brought a fresh mindset and new learning into the workplace. With support from Avant, the programme offered more than just extra capacity, it introduced new ways of working that benefited the entire team.
One of the most significant contributions was the implementation of a new registration spreadsheet system. This improved how candidate information was logged and tracked across the business, helping to build clearer candidate profiles and strengthen recruitment processes. Stacey quickly became an asset, progressing confidently and playing an instrumental role in improving systems.
The open communication and lack of barriers within the apprenticeship programme stood out. Regular dialogue and support from Avant ensured a seamless experience, helping Stacey to flourish, particularly after engaging with the training centre and fully understanding the programme. This growth had a direct positive impact on the business.
Reflecting on the experience, Prestige Recruitment highlights the strength of support provided by Avant Skills Academy and the smooth, collaborative process throughout. It’s a partnership that demonstrates how apprenticeships can deliver measurable business value while developing confident, capable talent.
