Facts about apprentices

Apprenticeships enable you to ‘grow your own’ skilled employees, which ensures that your staff have the relevant knowledge and skills your organisation needs. This in turn reduces skills gaps, improves staff retention and reduces training and recruitment costs. Your employees gain valuable qualifications that will help them progress in their chosen careers – and you reap the rewards of having loyal, confident staff that can help steer the future success of your organisation.

There are more than 100 types of apprenticeships available across 60 industry sectors. These include apprenticeships in engineering, business administration, horticulture, plumbing, retail and catering.
