An impressive year of firsts for Sparkle Dental Labs

Soon to commemorate its first year in UK dentistry, Sparkle Dental Labs has already earned a reputation for quality service and commitment to the profession. MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, Andrew Jones, will be visiting the laboratory this year to help celebrate its fantastic achievements in such a short space of time.

In addition to already establishing dedicated and highly qualified professional teams in the areas of orthodontics and implants, Sparkle Dental Labs has demonstrated an absolute commitment to education and the provision of quality learning opportunities. While ensuring on-going training of the whole team, the laboratory has also become one of the first in the UK to get involved with the Government’s new Trailblazer Apprenticeship Scheme.

Trailblazer Scheme – New Opportunities

Designed to initiate the improvement and development of apprenticeships in 29 different sectors, the project is focused on creating new opportunities both for the public and UK organisations. Particularly beneficial to those less suited to academic learning, the programme will provide a fantastic option for people to gain new practical skills and qualifications, while earning at the same time.

As 47% of graduates are thought to find employment in non-graduate jobs in the first six months[i], the apprenticeship scheme will also offer an effective option for young people looking for employment and a promising new career.

Employer-led, the Trailblazer initiative will offer a wealth of advantages for companies who take part as well. Not only will apprentices become experienced and highly skilled employees on completion of their training, but it has been statically proven that apprenticeships increase productivity[ii] and reduce staff turnover[iii]. Increased loyalty and a better understanding of the company and its ethics all contribute to a more reliable and happy workforce, encouraging stable and highly efficient productivity for increased profits.

Strengthening the dental lab industry

With hundreds of dental technicians believed to be leaving the UK profession each year, concern is growing over the amount of work sent overseas. This Trailblazer Apprenticeship Scheme is a fantastic initiative to train new professionals in the sector, strengthening the industry once again, and Sparkle Dental Labs is keen to help lead the way.
