Apprenticeships
Apprentices can deliver real, measurable benefits – filling your skills gaps while boosting your organisation’s efficiency and competitiveness. They are a cost-effective way to invest in your future managers, increase business growth and attract new talent. Apprentices are widely regarded as eager, reliable and loyal – and you can train them to suit your own workplace procedures and systems.
Our tradition of excellence
One of the largest colleges in the country, we are committed to helping employers invest in a more professional, skilled and sustainable workforce for the future. We pride ourselves on delivering effective skills solutions for employers – and apprenticeships form an important part of that work. We have a wealth of expertise in helping to recruit and train apprentices for vital roles across diverse industry sectors. In 2015-16 alone, we supported around 2,200 apprentices – and their employers – to achieve their goals.
Benefits for your business
With apprenticeships you can:
- Improve your organisation’s productivity and performance through better trained staff
- Solve your staff recruitment and retention problems in an affordable way
- Recruit to your own job specifications
- Shape and mould a person to your own business requirements
- Benefit from flexible training which dovetails with your working schedules and business needs
Understanding the Levy
The Apprenticeship Levy requires all employers operating in the UK which have an annual payroll bill in excess of £3 million to make an investment by training apprentices.
This will bring our country into line with other modern economies, where the co-funding of apprenticeships by the interested parties – the employer and the government – is already the standard model.
The Apprenticeship Levy will directly fund apprenticeship training programmes, with the aim of increasing the number of people in apprenticeships to 3 million by 2020. It means employers can take control of – and benefit from – a further £3 billion that will be added to the apprenticeship pot over the course of the next five years.
