What Is An Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships offer a practical way to develop talent within an organisation. They combine real work with training, allowing individuals to earn while they learn.
The employer will have to provide a contract of employment and holiday leave, ensuring apprentices are integrated as valued team members.
Apprenticeships can last between one and six years, depending on the level and the apprentice’s prior experience. Funding is shared between the government and employers: if your annual pay bill exceeds £3 million, you’ll contribute 0.5% through the Apprenticeship Levy.
If your pay bill is under £3 million, you’ll pay just 5% of the training costs, with the government covering the remaining 95%, unless your apprentice is under the age of 22, whereby the government will cover 100% off the cost.
As an apprentice you’ll:
Learn and train for a specific career
Get paid and receive holiday leave
Get hands-on experience in a real job
Study for at least 20% of your working hours
Complete assessments during and at the end of your apprenticeship
Be on a career path with lots of significant potential
