Apprenticeships: Information for Employers
Apprenticeships provide affordable training for employers as the training costs can be subsidised by the Government. Apprenticeships are for people aged 16 and over. We can help you with recruitment by providing a Training Needs Analysis, advertising your apprenticeship job vacancies free of charge and screening applicants to meet your business needs. Alternatively, an existing member of your staff can also be considered for an apprenticeship.
The Apprenticeship Levy
In spring 2017 the way the government funds apprenticeships in England changed. For further information look at our apprenticeship levy page.
