Benefits of recruiting apprentice

• Apprentices gain skills which are relevant to your business – it is tailor made training to suit your business needs

• Opportunities to employ fresh talent to your workforce without paying recruitment fee, if you choose to retain them after their apprenticeship programme..

• You may be entitled to government incentive of £1000 per apprentice if you recruit an Apprentice aged 16 – 18 years old.

We have a very robust recruitment process including short-listing, interviewing, saving businesses valuable time and efforts in recruiting staff.

Our services are ideal for large business and most suited for small and medium businesses in particular as they no longer have to worry about taking on an apprentice for the first time, because of a lack of support services, such as HR and Payroll, and often mentoring the apprentice.

As a host employer you will pay us a monthly management fee plus the apprentice their agreed wage.
