Why would I want to take on an apprentice?

Because it is good business. Skills shortages are still one of the biggest threats to UK business. Apprenticeships can help businesses across all industries by offering a route to harness fresh talent. If you have trained staff with the right skills for the job they can do a wider range of tasks and take on new responsibilities - this can help to reduce skill shortages, minimise staff turnover and workplace accidents, and increase productivity.

Taking on an apprentice is cost effective because your people can learn while they’re on the job and the government contributes to the costs of learning.

What is an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications and workplace experience. As an employee, you can earn as you learn and you gain practical skills from the workplace.

Do I get paid?

All employed apprentices must receive a wage of £95 per week. However, as skills develop, many employers tend to increase wages – in fact, research has found that apprentices earn an average of £170 net pay per week.

Apprentices for Business

We can even offer you flexible recruitment and employment of your apprentice through our partnership with Apprentices for Business. They provide a low risk, cost-effective alternative to employers whereby they employ the apprentice on your behalf, managing all payroll and HR functions; you simply get invoiced for the hours the apprentice works for you.
