The Benefits of Employing an Apprentice

- An apprenticeship is a great way to recruit or retain talent your organisation needs.
- Apprentices spend 80% of their time in the workplace putting their skills into practice; the rest of the time is spent earning an industry-recognised qualification.
- Our programme pathways, from school-leaver to degree-level, allow learners to progress and grow within your company.
- Apprentices are fully supported by our subject experts and digital learning consultants, providing feedback and guidance both digitally and face-to-face.
