What are apprenticeships?
With apprenticeships, you can nurture the next generation of workers or develop your existing staff. An apprentice will work for you, while studying for a recognised qualification.
Foundation Apprenticeships
Give senior school pupils a taste of the working world. You’ll benefit from the input of young minds and upskill your existing employees. Meanwhile, you’ll help a young person earn a valuable qualification.
Modern Apprenticeships
Your business needs skilled people – and Modern Apprenticeships provide just that. Use them to help develop your existing employees or train new recruits. 89% of employers would recommend Modern Apprenticeships – what are you waiting for?
Graduate Apprenticeships
A great opportunity for businesses with specific skills needs. Apprentices will learn on the job, while working towards a degree level qualification. They can be used to recruit the business brains of the future, or to develop your current employees.
Apprenticeships help provide the nursery with the future workforce we need. It’s a cycle of growth to bring new and enthusiastic practitioners into the business.
