Are you looking to hire an apprentice?
This week is National Apprenticeship Week – a time to highlight the positive impact apprenticeships can have on individuals, businesses and the economy. If you are looking to hire a new member of your team, why not consider an apprenticeship?
Some things to remember:
- Apprentices must be aged 16 or over,
- must be paid at least the minimum wage and
- be given time for training or studying during their working week.
Benefits for employers include:
- a range of apprenticeships available to suit your business,
- support from apprenticeship training providers,
- access to funding for training and other costs.

We can help you advertise your apprenticeship, find an appropriate apprenticeship training provider, draft an employment contract/apprenticeship agreement appropriate for the role, along with advising on selection and onboarding processes to help make the best start.
