Are you thinking of taking on an Apprentice?
Apprentices are opportunities for all employers, from small businesses to large multi-national companies, to strengthen, diversify and develop their workforce, helping organisations to be ready for the future.
Research has proven that apprentices add real value to employers and to the wider economy: for every £1 spent, there is a £28 return.
Apprenticeships are for people of all ages from 16 upwards. All the information you need about recruiting apprentices can be found in one place here on Workbox.
It is not as complicated as it may seem to employ an apprentice or use the apprenticeship levy to upskill your current team. We can provide you with all the advice and information you need through our employer engagement team at Wolves at Work, who will talk you through the apprenticeship standards.
For more information on:
- Independent advice and guidance available
- What funding is available?
- What standards will the apprentice undertake?
- Employment liabilities
- The Apprenticeship levy and training
- The new Apprenticeship service
If you are interested in marketing your business and apprenticeship offer on our Meet the Employers page, please email workbox@wolverhampton.gov.uk
As a levy-paying employer, the City of Wolverhampton Council can now transfer some of our annual levy funds to other smaller Wolverhampton employers.
If your business or organisation is based in Wolverhampton, then you could be eligible for advice on recruiting apprentices and the up-skilling of your existing workforce, or for financial support which can be used to fund training.
Contact Paula.Moore@wolverhampton.gov.uk for more information.
