Employers

Benefit from the VIQU Academy

As a UK employer, are you increasingly aware of the growing IT skills shortage, and subsequent challenges you face to grow your business through recruitment of relevant, appropriate and motivated IT professionals?

Here at VIQU, we acknowledge the challenges you face as an employer, and we want to help YOU. Our vision is to bring together IT trained, motivated and passionate young people, and progressive local companies that wish to benefit from developing new talent through an apprenticeship scheme – The VIQU Academy.

In addition to classroom based learning, our team will individually contribute time to help develop the attendees to best equip them for the world of work…and enhancing YOUR business. We aim to place as many highly motivated and skilled young people as possible into IT roles in Midland businesses in 2014 (and beyond), and help our clients flourish.

Speak to our team on 0121 227 8200 to discuss how beneficial and rewarding the VIQU Academy could be for your business, and the people you offer opportunity to.
