Employer Incentives

There is a misconception that taking on an apprentice is hardwork and involves lots of paperwork, this is no longer the case.   We have a numer of learners that have been accepted onto our programmes but are now seeking an employer to support their apprenticeship.  We can assist in finding a suitable candidate for you and help with all paperwork by visiting you in the wokplace with the majority of boxes already completed!

With the government now promoting the benefits of having an apprenitce, and if you have not  taken an apprentice in the last 3 years, you are entitled to apply for a £1500 grant to aid with wage costs. In addition if you are CITB registered employer you may also be able to obtain subsidies to help with training costs.  The apprentice minimum wage is currently £2.60 per hour and applies to time working, plus time spent training. Employers are free to pay above this wage and many do so, but employers must ensure that they are paying their apprentices at least the minimum wage.  The wage applies to all apprentices aged under 19; and those over 19 or in the first year of their Apprenticeship. Training costs are fully funded for apprentices aged 16-18 years, and partially funded for those over 19 where a training contribution will be required by the funding agent.

Your apprentice will attend the centre to learn practical City & Guilds skills and Functional Skills in Maths and English via day or block release, they will then be assessed in the workplace for their NVQ.  A Training Officer will also visit or call every 12 weeks to carry out a review with you and your apprentice to check progress and set targets for achievement.  A level 2 apprentice will usually take between 18-24 months to complete and up to a further year to achieve their level 3.
