Why apprenticeships are good for business

Apprenticeships enable both the apprentice and employer to progress. As an employer, you can nurture your trade's next generation of skilled workers by teaching the skills your industry needs the most and that are only learned on the job.

You can also employ apprentices at different levels of experience, enabling you to offer specialised or higher-level apprenticeships. Apprenticeships will attract school leavers, university graduates and those in further education, as well as people looking to progress their careers, join a new profession or develop trade skills. An apprenticeship also means having the ability to upskill an existing employee, so you can offer more progression and retain your workforce for longer.

As a company, you'll have first-hand access to rising talent, teaching individuals who are already passionate about, and want a career in, your industry. You will also find your business benefits from the wider networks and advertising involved with recruiting apprenticeships and partnering with our college.
