Hire an apprentice and invest in the future, by getting talent that’s right for you. It’s easier than you think: if you are a smaller employer, you are eligible for government funding which will pay between 95% and 100% of the apprentice training costs. If you are a large employer, you can use your levy to pay for your apprenticeship training.
Apprenticeships are suitable for people at any age and any level so you can hire someone new or upskill an existing employee, allowing you to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. They help you to:
- Offer on-the-job training in a safe working environment
- Build a culture of learning and development
- Enjoy higher staff retention and morale
- Promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace
“We have lots of success stories and feedback that the young people have been like a breath of fresh air, helping existing staff, particularly in relation to technology. These programmes can be life changing for young people who may not have been certain about their futures.”
