Apprenticeships
There are a number of benefits for companies seeking to employ apprentices, not least the significant amount of funding currently available from the UK government.
Apprenticeships have moved on from what they used to be and are an exciting option for both apprentice and employer. You can now employ apprentices at all different levels, from school leavers to people that want to further their careers or change career direction completely. An apprentice can be aged 16 or 100 plus!
In a survey commissioned by the government in 2017, 86% of employers reported benefiting from ‘the development of skills relevant to the organisation’ by hiring apprentices. A further three-quarters highlighted ‘improved productivity, better quality of product or service, and higher staff morale.’
