Why consider hiring an apprentice?

  • Adding value at no extra cost - It is estimated that for every £1 spent on an apprentice, they will contribute £28 to the employer.
  • Upskilling a current member of staff means there is no need to recruit externally. Further, your chosen training provider will help you to find suitable apprentices if you do choose to recruit externally.
  • Apprenticeships provide employers with a structured, skill-based development programme that ensures apprentices acquire the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours in key job roles.
  • Transfer to Transform Scheme offers large employers an opportunity to pledge their unspent apprenticeship levy funds to cover the costs of apprenticeship training for SMEs. It supports the creation of apprenticeships for local people, to demonstrate corporate social responsibility, support your local supply chain and reduce wastage of unspent apprenticeship levy funds.
