Develop skilled, motivated staff through high-quality, apprenticeships

Apprenticeships offer employers a powerful way to build talent, close skills gaps, and develop staff in a cost-effective, structured way. Whether you’re recruiting new employees or developing existing staff, apprenticeships provide practical, job-focused training aligned to your business needs.

They combine hands-on experience with guided learning—creating confident, capable people who are ready to contribute from day one.

Skilled, confident employees who improve productivity, strengthen your workforce, and progress internally

How Apprenticeships Support Your Organisation

  • Build a strong talent pipeline for key roles

  • Upskill current employees with structured development pathways

  • Increase productivity through role-specific skills and knowledge

  • Improve retention with clear progression routes

  • Attract new talent motivated to learn, earn, and grow

  • Use levy or government funding to reduce training costs

Apprenticeships are suitable for staff of all ages and levels—from entry roles to supervisors and future managers.

Funding & Costs

Apprenticeships are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy or government co-investment:

Levy-paying employers

Use your levy funds to fully cover apprenticeship training.

Non-levy employers

Pay only 5% of the training cost—the government funds the remaining 95%.

In many cases, apprenticeships can be delivered at no additional cost to the organisation.

Recruiting an Apprentice

We help employers find and recruit motivated learners through our talent pipelines, including:

  • Candidates from Skills Bootcamps

  • Pre-apprenticeship programmes

  • Young people engaged through DWP and WMCA partners

  • Community outreach networks

We support job descriptions, advertising, shortlisting, and interview preparation to ensure you find the right fit.

Upskilling Existing Staff

Apprenticeships aren’t just for new hires. Many employers use them to:

  • Develop supervisors and team leaders

  • Strengthen digital and cyber capability

  • Build business administration and customer service skills

  • Support staff progression and internal promotion

This helps retain talent while building a future-ready workforce.
