Increasing its intake of female apprentices was an “amazing achievement” which has played a key role in energy firm E.ON picking up the award for Best Diversity Recruitment Strategy at Recruiter’s Awards for Excellence, supported by Innovate CV.

At the awards ceremony last week at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, E.ON’s apprenticeship campaign was recognised as a benchmark for making the resourcing team and its whole business think differently about how it recruited, the channels it used to recruit and who it recruited.
