Weymouth College - Employer Services and Partnerships

Apprenticeships An apprenticeship programme is designed to deliver the skills you need for your business and the trained workers you need for the future. The programme can also help you develop the specialist skills to keep pace with the latest technology and working practices in your sector.

When you take on an apprentice you are able to train them to your standards and the effort you put into their training programme can be very rewarding.

Apprentices tend to be eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the company that invested in them. Remember, an apprentice is with you because they want to be – they have made an active choice to learn on the job and a commitment to a specific career.

Offering an apprentice employment can deliver real returns to your bottom line – leading to lower overall training and recruitment costs, helping improve productivity and in turn making your business more competitive.

If you would like to discuss taking on an apprentice or would like some more information then please contact the Apprenticeship Team on 01305 208709 or fill in the Employer Enquiry Form.
