Employ an Apprentice
Thinking of taking on an Apprentice?
Apprenticeships are an effective training tool for new and existing employees of all ages, from 16 upwards.
You may want to recruit and train an Apprentice, to become a valued member of your team, or you might want to offer a current employee a professional qualification and training to help them progress in their role and within your company.
There is funding available for Apprentices of all ages, who are aged 16+. If your company pays the Apprenticeship Levy, you can use these funds to pay for Apprenticeship training.
Find out more about the Apprenticeship Levy, and how you can use these funds for Apprenticeship training.
