The Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IoEE) was founded in 2010, creating the first dedicated professional learning institute specialising in business enterprise and business support, a standing still enjoyed to this day within the UK.
The Institute’s programmes and qualifications are built on the extensive research and the expertise of the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs, the UK’s only professional Institute dedicated to enterprise.
As the popularity of apprentice programmes continues to grow across businesses, of all shapes and sizes, the importance of supporting these individuals and supporting them as they progress through their apprenticeship is pivotal to the overall success of both the individual employees and the wider business. Many apprentices are young employees taking their first steps into employment, others are often moving in to a new industry or taking on a new type of role.
Supporting an apprentice or team of apprentices through mentoring is quickly becoming recognised as the most successful way to support these individuals, making them a valuable asset to your organisation and for them to successfully complete their apprenticeship qualification.
