CORE Nuclear Solutions has showcased its commitment to developing its people by joining The 5% Club, an industry led initiative focused on driving momentum into the recruitment of apprentices and graduates.
The 5% Club is a movement of more than 1,000 employers providing ‘earn and learn’ opportunities to develop the skills and talents people need to become more employable and create meaningful careers. Companies joining The 5% Club commit to raising the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formal programmes to 5% of their total workforce within five years. Members are also asked to publicly report their progress in their Annual Report. Existing members range from SMEs to FTSEs and cover all sectors including engineering, transport, and financial services.
Member companies now also have the opportunity to achieve accredited Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze membership status through the annual Employer Audit.
At CORE, we take immense pride in our dedication to nurturing talent and fostering growth to shape the next generation of engineers. Over the last decade, we’ve proudly maintained a 100% success rate in transitioning our apprentices into full-time roles, a milestone that reflects our dedication to not just providing jobs but creating long-term career opportunities.
Over 15% of CORE’s current workforce is made up of apprentices and students.
Our apprenticeship program spans a variety of fields, including design, business, project controls, and electrical and mechanical engineering. By offering hands-on experience and expert guidance, we aim to empower young talent to grow and thrive within our company. Currently, we have 10 apprentices in our team, and we’re excited to continue building our talent pipeline with plans to welcome at least 2 more apprentices in 2025.
Gill Cronin, Director of Operations of The 5% Club said, “We’re delighted to welcome CORE Nuclear Solutions into membership. The 5% Club provides a fantastic network of HR and L&D professionals, sharing and learning from each other. All our members share an ethos of creating a skilled workforce through ‘earn and learn’ development programmes, helping people develop meaningful career paths.”
We’re now accepting applications for 2025 apprenticeship opportunities in partnership with Lakes College.
