Learning and Development

Apprenticeships
The Acorn Group are working with various training providers, to deliver an extensive apprenticeship program to our existing employees, as well as talented and ambitious individuals who are looking to join our company.
Our aim is to recognise and reward current and new employees, with the opportunity to access an internationally recognisable qualification via our Acorn Academy Training Programme.
This enables our employees to cement their current skillset, while offering individuals the opportunity to learn additional skills, knowledge and behaviours that will support them in their current role and present future career opportunities.
The programmes currently being delivered have been selected due to the progression routes they can offer and suitability to the business, and to enable employees to enhance their personal development.

I joined The Acorn Group in January 2023 on a Business and Administration apprenticeship. As I have progressed through the course, I have gained a greater understanding of how beneficial it is and gained understanding of the business as I have been able to work alongside people who have a passion for their career and obtain great advice from them. I have been given various opportunities to start of my career off strongly and it has also helped me gain confidence in not only my job but myself as well.
