Industry Promotion

Preparing for the future As Members know, BIFA is passionate about apprenticeships and how they can be a great method of growing and diversifying your organisation. BIFA is always pleased to hear success stories of how apprentices have thrived in their careers. One example of this is the celebration of apprentices at DHL who have recently completed the International Freight Forwarding Specialist standard. If you are looking to hire apprentices into your business, you can check out our BIFAlink TV mini-series on YouTube which walks you through the process of apprentice recruitment. In this three-part series, Carl Hobbis, member services director, shares advice based on the first- hand experience gained from welcoming BIFA’s first apprentice in 2022. Additional resources available on our website will help to navigate the perceived red tape around recruiting apprentices – scan the QR code to visit the website.
