If you are successful at the first interview, you’ll be given advice on what areas you need to work on and research, before being invited in for a second interview with a Themis Trainer.
Second Interview
At the second interview, you’re expected to show us you are:
Documentation
You will be asked to submit the below documents ahead of your second interview:
After your second interview, if a Themis Trainer is confident you have what it takes to become a successful Themis Apprentice and #FUTUREBOSS, you will be allocated your own recruitment consultant from the Themis team. They will introduce you to potential Employers with Apprenticeship vacancies and you also need to start looking to secure an employer yourself.
You will also receive your very own Themis portfolio to store all your documents, which will impress at interviews with potential Employers and make you stand out from the crowd.
Themis Toolkit Workshops
However, if, after the second interview, the Themis Trainer feels you would benefit from additional support before meeting Employers, you will have the opportunity to take part in Themis Toolkit workshops to improve your skills:
Once you’ve completed the workshops, you will have another chance to impress a Themis Trainer and show how the Themis Toolkit has helped you improve or will be given advice tailored to your own specific needs on alternative routes to help you achieve your goals, such as a full-time academic course or a traineeship.
Pre-Apprenticeship Programme
Should you be unable to secure an Apprenticeship, you will automatically be allocated a place on a Pre-Apprenticeship Programme, delivered in your chosen industry area by experts. It will provide you with a thorough foundation in the skills, knowledge and behaviours you would expect to acquire in the initial stages of your chosen Themis Apprenticeship.
