We’re delighted to have been named Employer of the Year at the Newcastle and Staffordshire College Group (NSCG) annual awards on the 11th of June.
Michelle Coates and Mike Reynolds were in attendance at the Bet 365 stadium to collect the award on behalf of everyone at DPC.
DPC have been partnering with NSCG since 2017 and in that time, we have supported 16 apprentices on their journey into a career in accounting. We’re passionate about apprenticeships and feel strongly about the fantastic impact apprentices have on their business and clients.
DPC offer a supportive and structured environment, where each new apprentice is paired with a mentor. This is reflected in our high retention rate of 80%.
We have a great relationship with NSCG and plan to continue that as we take on five new apprentices at the start of July.
Michelle, Director at DPC, commented on the win, “It was such a privilege to accept this award on behalf of the team at DPC Accountants who work tirelessly to ensure we offer our apprentices the highest quality training program. It is fantastic to see their hard work and dedication recognised by Newcastle College.
Sincere thanks to Newcastle College for their support over the years, we greatly enjoy the working relationship; it goes from strength to strength.
It’s really inspiring to see young people thriving and developing in the field of accountancy and I am honoured that we get to play such an important part in that in our local community.”
