Apprenticeships Industry Experience
An Apprenticeship is a full time job with a blend of ‘on’ and ‘off’ the job training. This combination provides the apprentice with the skills they need for their chosen career, while also earning a wage.
Apprenticeships are an excellent way for employers to bring new and fresh talent in to their organisation.
You can recruit an apprentice at any time of the year providing they are over the age of 16. There is no upper age limit to starting an apprenticeship.
When recruiting an apprentice, it is important that you support them to receive relevant training and to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours they need to be a success in the workplace.
An apprentice must have a contract of employment with you, get paid a salary and receive the relevant statutory benefits, such as holiday pay.
The apprenticeships that we offer range in length from 15 months to anything up to 3 years, depending on the programme. We offer apprenticeship standards in the following sectors:
If there are any specific apprenticeships that we don’t currently deliver that you would like us to look into please let us know.
