Predictive people analytics for apprentice providersMaking apprentices industry-ready

Comprising comprehensive assessments, predictive analytics and detailed reporting, the Cognisess Apprentice platform covers the entire apprenticeship journey, from initial selection to first job and beyond.

Used throughout the apprenticeship eco-system, by schools, colleges, apprenticeship providers and employers, the platform reveals the capabilities and potential of individual apprentices, helps fill any skills gaps they may have and matches them to the needs of specific roles and industry sectors.

Returns on apprentice investment are maximised. Apprentice attrition rates minimised.

The Apprenticeship Levy scheme aims to create 3 million new Apprentices by 2020.

This provides a unique opportunity for companies to shape and grow their own talent pool by combining on-the-job training within your organisation alongside off-the-job learning.

This is a new opportunity for companies to invest in the potential of young people and help meet the demand for skills and talent across many sectors – all of who are seeking to meet and match the ever increasing pressures and pace of competition, technology and organisational development.

However, this medium-term investment carries even more pressure than standard resource recruitment and like all talent recruitment and resource management opportunities, the same risks and challenges arise:

■ How do you successfully recruit from more diverse, less obvious backgrounds?

■ How do you know if the apprentice has the core skills and attributes that are essential to perform in your environment?

■ How can you assess whether their personality and values will match those of the organisation?

■ How do you monitor whether they are performing against benchmarks of what ‘good’ looks like within your workforce?

Cognisess Apprentice harnesses the power of Big Data, Cognitive

Neuroscience, Machine Learning and Predictive

Analytics

This means you can confidently make selection decisions based on scientifically back evidence and benchmarks to ensure you pick the best talent option every time.

Cognisess Apprentice is a simple to use and accessible platform to manage, monitor and appraise multiple apprentices through-out the entire life cycle of the scheme.

Identifying and matching the right Apprentice for your organisation is highly complex given that you are likely to be searching amongst a pool of young talent that has little to offer by way of tangible achievement, relevant work experience or even understanding about their own talents, abilities and aspirations.

At this juncture it is easy for subjective or even unconscious bias to overly influence the decisions about which individuals meet the needs of your organisation.

Cognisess Apprentice helps you look beyond the immediate individual to see a detailed profile of their natural talents and true potential. It will also analyse these against fit for the exact role, culture and future needs of your organisation.
