Why businesses employ an apprentice with us
Employers across the region partner with us because:
🔵 Work-ready talent: Our apprentices are already developing real world skills, knowledge, and experience to excel in their roles.
🔵 Proven training experience: We have an excellent reputation as a trusted training and apprenticeship provider.
🔵 Comprehensive programmes: We offer apprenticeships for all levels, from school leavers to senior management.
Funding an Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are funded through employer contributions, government funding and/or employer’s levy contributions.
You could find there are no costs to using an apprenticeship for new or existing staff, apart from employment-related costs such as wages; you may only have to pay 5% which could be as low as £300 spread over a few months; or if you are an employer paying the apprenticeship levy the cost of training and support could come straight from your levy.
