Apprenticeships For Employers – What You Need To Know
An Apprenticeship is a real job, with hands on experience, training and a salary. Throughout their programme, Apprentices will gain the technical knowledge, practical experience and wider skills & behaviours they need for their immediate job and future career. Appointing Apprentices allows businesses to grow their own talent by developing a motivated, skilled and industry qualified workforce. Apprenticeships are available to businesses of all sizes and sectors in England and can last from 12 months to 4 years.
Our team of Business Training & Partnership Co-Ordinators are on hand to help you get the most from Apprenticeships for your organisation. From general advice, information on the Levy and the Digital Apprenticeship Service, recruitment and selection to the Apprentice starting their learning, our team can support. Many of our partners prefer an end-to-end solution, whilst others enjoy a more tailored plan for support.

Apprenticeships are one of the most cost-effective ways to introduce and train new staff to your business. The cost of training an Apprentice is dependent upon their age and whether or not your business pays the Apprenticeship Levy.
