Getting Ahead of the Curve: How Bentley Motors Uses Apprenticeships to Develop Future Data Talent and Stay Competitive

How can companies best prepare for the data skills needed in the future? At Bentley Motors, they took a forward thinking approach by creating an apprenticeship program to develop a data talent pipeline. By researching what future skills they would need to hire for, they identified roles like data scientists before the job descriptions even existed. Bentley then created degree apprenticeships to cultivate homegrown talent.

Now with a cohort of apprentices at different experience levels, including some earning degrees, Bentley has fresh perspectives entering the business regularly. The apprentices also gain years of hands-on work experience alongside qualifications. This win-win scenario allows Bentley to stay ahead of changing industry needs and have leaders primed for new opportunities. By maximising their apprenticeship program and commitment to diverse views, Bentley has found an effective way to both benefit their organisation long-term and support the careers of their future data leaders.
