Employers have the ability to take on Apprentices under the Government Apprenticeship scheme. This scheme benefits and protects both the employer and the Apprentice to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.

Why should Employers hire Apprentices?

• Apprenticeships can help your business by offering a route to harness fresh talent
• Help a young person to learn a skill and begin a new career for life
• Skills shortages are still one of the biggest threats to UK business
• The right scheme will help a company reduce skills shortages, staff turnover, work place accidents and increase productivity

How does it work?

• The apprentice spends part of the time working with the company and part of the time training
• The training is paid for by the government and costs the company nothing
• The company pays only £2.60 per hour (£104 per week) to the apprentice (SFA Guidelines)
• Apprenticeship Scheme approved by the Government
