Hiring an apprentice is an ideal way to find and develop future talent.
What is an apprentice?
An apprentice would be your employee, with all the same rights as any other employee. Apprentices can be any age, from 16 upwards.
You could hire someone new or use an apprenticeship to upskill an existing employee.
An apprentice can work up to 40 hours per week, which includes 20% off-the-job training. This usually means one day per week with us on campus.
What are the benefits of hiring an apprentice?
By hiring an apprentice, you will be able to build a skilled workforce of motivated and loyal workers. You will also be able to tap into support from Bishop Burton College and the government
According to the government's Apprenticeships data:
86% of employers said apprenticeships helped them develop skills relevant to their organisation
78% of employers said apprenticeships helped them improve productivity
74% of employers said apprenticeships helped them improve the quality of their product or service
What funding is available for apprenticeships?
You can get help from the government to pay for apprenticeship training.
The amount you get depends on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy or not. You pay the levy if you’re an employer with a pay bill over £3 million each year.
We will be able to advise you of the latest information regarding funding, as government rules are subject to change.
