Last week, our Year 3 apprentices joined fellow apprentices from Bendalls Engineering for the second module of their Outward Bound residential programme in Eskdale.
It was a busy week involving a two-day expedition, ghyll scrambling, wild swimming and several team challenges designed to push them outside their comfort zones.
Away from their usual roles, they had the opportunity to build their confidence, strengthen relationships with their colleagues and develop important workplace skills including communication, teamwork, resilience, trust and ownership.
They ended the programme by creating individual SMART action plans, giving them clear areas to focus on when returning to the workplace.
For NW Total, supporting opportunities like this is an important part of developing capable and confident people who are ready to take on more responsibility as their careers progress.
Well done to everyone involved! π
