Employer benefits

Apprenticeships allow employers to shape their workforce based on their specific needs. By providing targeted training and hands-on experience, employers can develop a team of skilled and competent workers who are aligned with their business goals.

Employers can tailor apprenticeship programs to match their goals, ensuring that apprentices learn the exact skills and competencies needed for the company's operations. This customisation leads to a workforce that is well-equipped to handle the company's unique challenges.

Apprenticeships offer an opportunity to hire and train individuals from the ground up. This can lower recruitment costs associated with traditional hiring methods and reduce turnover since apprentices are more likely to stay with the company that invested in their development.

Apprenticeships provide a pathway for individuals from diverse backgrounds to enter the workforce. This can help employers enhance their workforce diversity, contributing to a broader range of perspectives and ideas within the company.

Apprentices bring new perspectives and ideas, often influenced by the latest industry trends and technology. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn can contribute to innovation and process improvements within the company. Many industries face skill shortages or gaps. Apprenticeships, therefore, are an opportunity for employers to address these gaps by training individuals with the specific skills they need.

Apprenticeships are a great alternative to full time education. Instead of purely classroom-based study, your apprenticeship helps build up work-based skills such as communication, teamwork, employer values and behaviours, all with rich hands-on experience!
