What are the benefits to your business?

Apprenticeships are a cost-effective means for delivering industry training to address your skills gap, by bringing in fresh new talent or developing the skills and confidence of your existing employees.

Cost effective recruitment of new employees

Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to bring in fresh new talent and help fill any skills gaps whilst shaping their learning around the working practices of your organisation.

Upskill existing employees

Apprenticeships are for learners of all ages and are offered at level 2 through to degree-level. This makes them a great way to develop employees throughout your organisation.

Improved staff retention

Investing in the development of your own staff will result in a motivated and ambitious workforce, helping to improve retention of key skills and experience.

You’re paying for apprenticeships anyway so you might as well benefit from them!

If your wage bill is more than £3 million then you will be contributing to the new apprenticeship levy. The only way to reclaim this is through the hiring of apprentices so it’s a case of use it or lose it.
