Taking on an apprentice has significant benefits for your business. There are more than 250,000 people currently undertaking Apprenticeships, all of whom are committed to a structured programme of learning. Apprenticeships are designed to make organisations more effective, competent, productive and competitive by addressing your skills gaps directly.
Apprenticeships meet the training needs of employers as well as ensuring that the training is relevant and in line with the current needs of industry.
Apprenticeships continue to increase in popularity with both employers and young people, as a way of becoming qualified within specific sectors. For many engineering and construction organisations, apprentices can represent up to 15% of the workforce.
An Apprenticeship is not just about the job, it’s a pathway to gaining an industry recognised qualification, company specific experience and the beginning of a long-term career. The unique way in which Apprenticeships combine on-the-job experience with quality training and study helps to produce highly competent and motivated staff who are a credit to any organisation. In many cases, an apprentice's training can be tailored to meet your individual business needs.
