Services giant OCS plans to increase apprenticeship places to over 1,000
Abstract
Facilities management service provider OCS has made a commitment to increase the number of apprenticeship placements to over 1,000 in the next 12 months as part of growth ambitions.

OCS will offer apprenticeship pathways in catering and hospitality as well as other FM roles such as cleaning and security to develop future talent and support career progression.  

The services giant has experienced a 140% growth in the uptake of its apprenticeships over the past year and aims to continue this upwards trajectory by offering opportunities for each of its service line.

Toni Marie-Vaughan, head of social mobility at OCS UK and Ireland, said: “Whilst it’s important that we continue to open up more opportunities for people who are looking to develop, our priority will always remain on the quality of programmes delivered. We are working with a number of partners to help do this.

“We have made further investments into our online training modules which are delivered through the OCS Academy. Learners can tap into all kinds of programmes in addition to the training that is structured around the pathway they have chosen. Along with e-learning and on-the-job training, learners can expect regular line management meetings and coaching conversations, time for studying away from practical training, and progress reports.”
