EMPLOYER APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING PROGRAMMES

Apprenticeship programmes that provide businesses with a skilled workforce for the future.
 

About Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes that combine practical on-the-job training with technical and theoretical learning to train new and existing employees.

Why are Apprenticeships good for business?

More than ever before, businesses are recognising the benefits Apprenticeships can bring. They are a proven way to develop and grow a more qualified workforce for the future by bringing in fresh new talent or to upskilling existing employees. Apprenticeship will also help you:

 

Improve the bottom line

Apprenticeships deliver real returns to your bottom line, helping you improve performance and productivity and be more competitive.

 

Deliver relevant skills

Employees will be trained to high occupational standards in relevant skills around the needs of your business.

 

Reduce training and recruitment costs

Apprenticeships are an efficient and cost-effective way to grow and develop your workforce with a range of funding and incentives.

 

Increase staff retention

Apprentices are motivated, eager and loyal to the company that invests in them as they have made a specific choice to work there.
