It’s Apprenticeship Week!
83% of businesses who employ apprentices rely on their Apprenticeship programme to provide the skilled workers they need for the future. Are you reaping the rewards by investing in your future workforce? Apprentices are eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the company that invested in them and it is a great way to combine learning with working – including on-the-job training and tuition both at college and at work. Businesses say that training Apprentices is more cost effective than hiring skilled staff, leading to lower overall training and recruitment costs. Apprenticeships deliver skills designed around your business needs and also help you develop the specialist skills you need to keep pace with the latest technology and working practices in your sector.
