The benefits of taking on an apprentice
There has never been a better time to offer apprenticeships, with one in five employers hiring more apprentices to help them through the current economic climate.
You will be getting a keen, motivated member of staff that wants to learn and help your business to grow. In fact, 80% of employers say apprentices have made their workplace more productive.
Apprenticeship training is developed in consultation with the industry, meaning an apprentice will learn the right skills for the job.
We aim to make taking on an apprentice as easy as possible by funding their training with a grant of up to £6,000.00 (available to eligible employers registered with CITB).
Employers in England may also be able to claim £1,500 from the National Apprenticeship Service if they have not recruited an apprentice in the last 12 months.
The Apprenticeship Grant for Employers is available in addition to any grants from us to help pay your apprentice’s wages.
