Tateside take on 2 Apprentices
London-based integrators, Tateside, have hired two new employees on an apprenticeship basis as part of their commitment to fostering the next generation of AV industry professionals. As part of their training, George and Joe will shadow the Tateside team on projects, undergo technical training and spend time with different departments to gain an understanding of the integration business and the world of AV. “Many of us started out in AV quite young, and we want to give others the opportunity to do the same,” says Jack Cornish, Technical Director at Tateside. “It can be difficult for people to find a clear career route into the integration business, so through these apprenticeships, we are
offering a path to a future in AV that will hopefully inspire these young people to continue their journey within the company or the wider industry.” A typical day during the apprenticeship includes site meetings, introductions to different departments, from managed services to project management and IT, and direct technical training on everything from AV networks to cabling and rack maintenance. Alongside practical sessions, apprentices begin their journey towards AVIXA certification by taking courses online. Graham Agambar, Director at Tateside, commented, “Both George and Joe are extremely keen, and their enthusiasm and willingness to learn is truly inspiring, injecting a new spirit into the team.”
