You may have noticed lots of fun and informative posts on our social media platforms this week! From the 6^th February 2023 to 12^th February 2023 it has been National Apprenticeship Week! 

Having delivered apprenticeships in some shape or another for the last 25 years  we have seen first-hand the benefits and prospective opportunities an apprenticeship can offer. And this has been the perfect time to showcase the amazing connections we have with our apprentices, partner employers ,and within our own team as we have grown together over the years. It's real show case of one of our most important values 'One Tempdent' that says 'We welcome everybody with open arms. We are supportive, encouraging and nurturing of each other and recognise that as One Tempdent we are stronger'.

Let’s reflect on some of the highlights for this week…

Launch Day Monday

We kicked off this week with our coffee morning. The best way for you to get to know Tempdent is to ‘Meet the Team’, which you can find on our Instagram Page here

Employer Tuesday 

Now that you got to know some of the Tempdent team, we wanted you to meet some of our Partners Employers. A few of our lovely partners collaborated with us to let you know their advice as an employer. 

You can watch some of these Portman Dentalcare, Bupa Dentalcare , Rodericks Dental and Colosseum Dental

We also shared several key facts about Dentistry and even had a game of guess the Catchphrase.  Did you work any out?

Apprentice Wednesday

You heard from us. You heard from our Partners. But  we wanted to introduce you to the stars of the show , our amazing apprentices! We had so many of our lovely apprentices talking about their journeys with Tempdent.  What a way to celebrate them! Check our  socials to hear more about their inspirational journeys. Here's a great example, watch Teigan here and Georgina here

Traineeship Thursday 

Did you know that the Traineeship is a course that helps you build the foundations of your Apprenticeship? The Pre Apprenticeship Traineeship programme is another route that can help you on to our Apprenticeship Programme, find out more on our Instagram page.

Celebrations Friday 

Through all the hard work, we need to take some time to celebrate all the achievements. Another has gone by, and we wanted to celebrate the all the astounding work our fantastic apprentices that have achieved their Dental Nursing qualification by creating a yearbook for the class of 2022!  Open the yearbook by clicking on the image below to see just a small sample of our newly qualified nurses! 

Parents & Carer’s Saturday

This Saturday we wanted to bring it home… Our two Directors Lorraine Nadel and Daniel Redland, being parents of two teenagers, know the concerns of any parent or carer. That is why Saturday was dedicated to showing you how the apprenticeship can help you progress into the future and provide you with ‘Skills for Life’.

There are so many choices for young people so we tried to explain how an apprenticeship is a really good option! Watch here and hear from Mike Wheeler from Health Education England about the routes that open up in Dentistry through apprenticeships.

Selfie Sunday

Selfie Sunday was an opportunity to show the diversity in our learner, employers and tutors all sharing their happy smiling faces! 

Did you notice the #ONETempdent on every post? Working together to harness the best for everyone is core to how Tempdent works.  One Tempdent includes all our staff, our partners, employers and apprentices – former, current and even prospective. Everyone’s contribution has made Tempdent the proud name it is today!

We would like to say a special thank you to everyone for all your help and contribution toward National Apprenticeship Week! This year has unexpectedly swept us off our feet with the large number of written posts, photos, and videos. If we were unable to post your contribution, we are incredibly sorry and hope you truly know how much we appreciate the time and effort you have put into it. We know now that next year will be bigger and better so we will ensure that we do not leave anything out!

Let's all celebrate Apprenticeships and Skills for Life!
