Employers
As employees, apprentices work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off-the-job, usually on a day release basis, apprentices receive training with a local private training provider or college.
Apprenticeships are designed by employers for employers, and therefore tailored to meet the needs of each specific sector.
Apprenticeships can improve an organisation’s productivity and profitability, and are an effective means of filling skills gaps in current and future workforces. There are many business benefits, from low training costs to increased staff retention.
