Apprenticeships

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a real job with training, which allows apprentices to earn while they learn, as well as gaining a nationally recognised qualification.

An apprenticeship programme allows for tailored training through a combination of practical work and taught classroom lessons. Apprenticeship schemes help employers ensure that they get exactly the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need while growing a talented and engaged workforce.

Every business is unique.

We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with you to identify and understand the needs of your organisation and offer a range of additional services to assist including:

• training needs analysis

• recruitment pipeline generation

• bespoke recruitment processes

• traineeships to capture future talent

• try before you invest work trials

• skills mapping and planning

• levy utilisation

Funding Explained.

Each apprenticeship course has its own funding value, and the funding contribution you will need to make towards the training programme will depend on the size of your organisation and the age of your apprentice. The maximum you will need to contribute is 5% of the funding value, the government will fund the remaining 95%.

You will need to know if you are a levy or non-levy paying employer. The apprenticeship levy is paid by employers with an annual wage bill in excess of £3 million. The levy is payable at 0.5% of the total wage bill over £3 million.

Industry Placements

Can you offer work experience?

Undertaking work-based learning opportunities is vital in helping our students develop the skills needed to succeed in the world of work. You can offer our students work experience from as little as one week, up to 60 days. Our dedicated industry placements and work experience team is on hand to guide you through the whole process.

We are always looking for guest speakers from industry to come in and share their experiences with our students, attend our careers fairs and carry out mock interviews.

How does it work?

Industry placements and work experience are relatively easy to set up. We will undertake a workplace risk assessment to ensure our students are placed in a safe environment. You will need to provide a copy of your employer liability insurance.

We will talk you through the process of work experience, including student expectations, your responsibilities and discuss details of what work the student will be doing on placement. During the placement you will be asked to provide regular feedback on the student.

Supported internships.

We work in partnership with you to support people aged 16-25 with a disability, into paid employment. This hands-on 12-month, training programme is based mainly in the workplace. The programme ensures both the employer and intern are fully supported to ensure a positive experience for all.

For an average business, 20% of your customers are disabled people. A workforce that reflects the diverse range of customers it serves, and the community in which it is based, is beneficial for businesses. Working alongside a young person with a learning disability can increase your organisation’s understanding of your market. Furthermore, there is evidence that taking on someone with a learning disability can increase staff retention and reduce absenteeism.
