How can you recruit an apprentice?
If you have a vacancy for an apprentice then please give us a call and we will advertise your vacancy for you on the National Apprenticeship Website and Indeed enabling people to view your vacancy and complete an online application.
As soon as we receive the applications for your vacancy we will invite the applicant in for an interview including a skills scan with us where we will discuss your vacancy and requirements and the apprenticeship. Once we are sure that the applicant is right for your vacancy we will send you the details and you can go ahead and interview them.
What skills does an apprentice need before they can start with my business?
Passion, determination, resilience, good communication, a willingness to learn and the ability to work autonomously, are all skills that an ideal trainee or apprentice should possess.
However, we must remember that an individual may not possess all of these skills before they start working with you. Taking on an apprentice is an investment in the future, as they have the chance to learn these basic skills along the way.
For the young people at the beginning of their journey, offering an apprenticeship can make all the difference. Not only will they build vital skills for starting their career like problem-solving, communication, collaboration and teamwork, but they’ll also gain invaluable insights into your business. Along the way, having a great support system is paramount to ensure they’re headed on the right track.
Our experienced tutors will be at hand to work closely with our apprentices and trainees to help them develop these soft skills to sky-rocket their and your future successes.
