The Government has a set a target of 3 million apprenticeship starts by 2020. How does that affect you?
Benefits of hiring an apprentice
- An apprentice will work alongside your experienced staff to gain on-the-job training and skills, just the way you want it.
- Once trained, an apprentice will become a valuable member of the team, helping to increase productivity.
- Trained staff are more likely to stay and progress within the business, improving morale and reducing recruitment and training costs in the long term.
An apprenticeship is a great way to bring in new staff with fresh ideas and to upskill existing staff.
In return you will be expected to
- Employ your apprentice for a minimum of 12 months, working a minimum of 30 hours per week.
- Pay your apprentices a wage – the London average is £190 p/w.
- Ensure that apprentices receive suitable training either at the college and/or at the workplace.
