An Apprenticeship is a nationally recognised training scheme allowing employees to gain qualifications whilst they work.
Apprenticeships are a highly effective way for you to invest in current and future employees while addressing the skills shortages within your industry.
We offer apprenticeships across a number of key sectors, from Level 2 up to Level 5, and supported over 400 apprentices in over 350 local businesses during the last academic year. Each qualification is designed with the support of employers, equipping young employees with skills that will evolve with the needs of your industry.
From their very first day as an apprentice, learners are immediately able to apply the skills they have learned to their day-to-day duties – allowing you to rapidly upskill in the areas you need to most.
Offering employees the opportunity to gain qualifications while they work also demonstrates your commitment to training and retaining the most driven, forward-thinking young talent, and with 94% of apprentices gaining a promotion after completing an apprenticeship with us, our results speak for themselves.
