Are you keen to develop your existing employees and/or do you need to recruit new employees?
Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust is offering to allocate apprenticeship levy funding to local small to medium sized employers based in Wirral* to help them take on 100 apprentices aged 19+ over 100 working days.
The Trust is working in partnership with Wirral Met College who will provide the training and assessment for a wide range of apprenticeships from accounting, business administration, HR support and management to autocare technicians, bricklayers and other construction trades, dental nurses, hair professionals and beauty therapists, sports coaches and more!
What does the apprenticeship levy pay for?
The apprenticeship levy funding will cover the cost of training and assessment for each apprentice you take on, including day release courses and off the job training, the Trainer Assessor’s visits to the workplace and time spent supporting the apprentice with their training and assessments, and the end point assessments such as exams, tests, professional discussions or observations.
