Job Creation refers to the creation of jobs through identifying where there is unmet demand for a particular product or services. Prospective employees can then be trained to fill this demand in the market. Furthermore, it is ideal that the economy is on sure footing in order for private individuals to invest in job creation. Naturally, employment opportunities needed to provide through the use of network. These are maintained through a wide professional network, including formal professional bodies, conferences, social networks and institutions.

Apprenticeship, Internship and Workplace Experience at Hano Recruitment Agency
Hano Recruitment Agency only supports those who are still in training or just finished their training and are looking for an apprenticeship, internship or workplace experience. Apprenticeships involve a system of training student-employees within a particular trade or profession. The apprentice gains practical experience in the program through a detailed training plan. The apprentices will ideally attend their training at Hano Academy and also have their practical training on the job. The theoretical study in a formal setting, regular progress reviews as well as support and mentoring throughout the program. Apprenticeships are ideally paid a wage, although at sub-par rate relative to normal. Once the apprentice finishes their program, they will have the necessary skills and experience to properly enter the job market.
Internship is usually a short-term opportunity that employer offer to potential students or graduates. Furthermore, internship is far less likely to be paid opportunities unlike apprenticeships where there is usually some form of compensation. Internship also tends to focus more on training and practical experience within the context of a company. This would also give the intern work contacts which will expand their networking opportunities. Both of these programs are different methods to acquire work experience, other types workplace shadowing, student placements, volunteering. The most common method of acquiring work experience is simply conventional employment, however unlike the other method there’s a much higher entry requirement to get on the basis if prior experience. As a result, workplace experience is much easier to acquire through the methods and programs.
