ARCie wins 2015 Trainee of the Year

One of ARC Group’s trainees, Amy Adams, won Trainee of the Year at the 2015 Western Sydney Training Awards.

Amy, hosted by NECA Group Training, will now be considered for the NSW Trainee of the Year Award which will be announced in September.

After having finalists in the regional awards for eight years running, ARC Group’s odds of having a winning trainee were high this year with three of the eight regional finalists being ARCies (ARC Group Trainees).

Amy Adams, along with Emily Jennings (hosted by Thinking Ergonomix) and Madison Dodds (hosted at ARC Group) attended the presentation at Rooty Hill RSL Club on Thursday 18th June.

Cameron Ryan, CEO of ARC Group said “We are very proud of these young ladies, they have all worked extremely hard during their traineeships. Their positive attitudes and strong work ethic have served them well with each of their host employers offering them full time roles at the completion of their traineeship.”

ARC Group loves it when ARCies are recognised for their achievements and accomplishments in their day to day jobs. Making career development easy is something ARC Group strives for. The support the host employers provide to their trainees makes all the difference in starting a successful career.

Young people make excellent start in business careers

In a recent review, ARC Training has confirmed almost 100% retention of people who started a business Traineeship in the last year as a result of undertaking an ARC Pathway program.

The 4 week ARC Pathway program is designed to initiate young people into the real world of business. It includes 3 weeks of learning the basics and getting to practice everyday activities like negotiations, presentations and memo writing, as well as explaining common business terminology like KPIs and Policies and Procedures. This is followed by a week on-the-job to get to know a potential employer.

This very practical course has been named as the reason for increasing retention rates: which is good for employers and employees. It has helped more than 65 people with skills development, so that they know what to expect and how to act in the new world of the workplace.

ARC Training runs a new program every couple of months and it is free of charge for participants. Interested people are encouraged to call 1300 799 793.
