Apprenticeships are an effective way of recruiting staff as well as supporting the upskilling of current staff so that they are ready to progress onto higher level positions within a company.
As an employer, how can apprenticeships support my organisation?
Employers can:
- Develop a competitive advantage by ensuring employees have the specific, specialist knowledge and skills relevant to the organisation.
- Use apprenticeships to support the effective recruitment of new staff.
- Use apprenticeships to improve the skills of current employees.

The candidates selected were all of a high standard and we are delighted to have secured the services of a young lady who is driven, motivated, enthusiastic and intelligent and has been a great fit with the rest of the team. She will be a real asset for the future and I would recommend every organisation with a resource requirement to contact the college for more details, and give apprentices an opportunity to shine.”
