How EKGTA Supports Employers in Recruiting the Right Talent

Finding the right talent in the competitive engineering industry can be challenging. At EKGTA, we provide end-to-end support, helping employers recruit skilled and motivated apprentices tailored to their needs. Here’s how we streamline the process to connect you with the right candidates.

1. Scoping Your Needs

Every successful apprenticeship program begins with understanding your business. During the scoping stage, we work closely with you to assess your specific requirements. Whether you need expertise in manufacturing, asset management, or technical support, we identify the skills and qualifications your apprentices need to succeed. This ensures the recruitment process aligns with your operational goals.

2. Advertising Your Opportunities

Once your needs are identified, we promote your apprenticeship vacancies through targeted channels, including our website, social media, and partnerships with schools, colleges, and career organisations. Our advertising strategy is designed to attract candidates with the passion and potential to excel in engineering.

3. Managing Applications

We handle the administrative workload by reviewing all applications to ensure candidates meet your entry criteria. This saves you time and ensures only suitable candidates move forward in the recruitment process.

4. Conducting Aptitude Assessments

Shortlisted candidates are invited to complete aptitude assessments tailored to engineering roles. These tests evaluate essential skills such as numeracy, problem-solving, and technical understanding, helping us identify the strongest candidates for your apprenticeship.

5. Interviewing Potential Apprentices

Our experienced team conducts initial interviews with candidates to assess their enthusiasm, communication skills, and suitability for the apprenticeship. Based on these interviews, we provide you with a shortlist of top candidates, making the final selection process more efficient.

6. Providing Ongoing Employer Support

After recruitment, our support doesn’t stop. We work with you to customise the apprenticeship training program, allowing you to select optional units that align with your business needs. This ensures apprentices gain the specific skills required to contribute effectively to your team.

7. Bridging the Skills Gap

EKGTA’s holistic approach addresses the industry’s skills gap by producing apprentices who are equipped with both practical and academic expertise. Through our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced instructors, we prepare apprentices to meet the demands of modern engineering.
