Jola is creating career opportunities for new job seekers leaving university while also helping businesses find talented staff by running a range of initiatives from work experience placements, apprenticeships, and graduate schemes.
The company says its work and training programmes can bolster opportunities for those looking for employment, while making it easier to find talented staff in a competitive market, where businesses often face a choice to invest heavily in recruitment campaigns or grow their own talent from within.
Jola’s initiatives help businesses invest in people early, giving them the skills, experience and opportunities to thrive in the channel.
Over the years, the business comms supplier has trained and supported many young professionals who have gone on to build successful careers with Jola.
Noor Ali (pictured) is the latest example, joining Jola during her placement year, working within the sales team.
During that time, she gained hands-on experience, training, and insight into how Jola supports its partners.
After returning to the University of Birmingham to complete her Business degree, Noor re-joined Jola as a full-time Internal Sales Executive, building on the skills she developed during her placement.
“Our placement programme has been a real success,” said Magnus Wright, Jola Head of Sales.
“It gives undergraduates valuable industry experience and the chance to develop their skills in a technology company. At the same time, we benefit from fresh perspectives, new ideas and a pipeline of talented graduates who already understand our culture and values.”
