What Is an Apprenticeship?

What Is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship combines real employment with structured training, giving people aged 16 and over the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for their chosen career.

For your business, that means an apprentice is learning while working as part of your team.

Apprenticeships can help you:

  • Recruit and develop new talent.
  • Train existing employees.
  • Address skills gaps within your business.
  • Build a workforce with the skills your business needs.
  • Develop the mentoring and leadership skills of existing staff.
  • Invest in the long-term future of your organisation.

Funding & Employer Incentives

Taking on an apprentice may cost your business less than you think.

Depending on the age and circumstances of your apprentice, their apprenticeship training may be fully funded.

Eligible employers may also be able to access financial support, including:

  • Up to £2,000 for recruiting an eligible new apprentice under the age of 25 from October 2026.
  • An additional £1,000 for eligible apprentices aged 16–18 or qualifying young people aged 19–24.
  • Other government incentives and employment support where eligibility criteria are met.
  • National Insurance savings for eligible apprentices under the age of 25.

Ways To Work With Us

Recruit an Apprentice

Ready to bring new talent into your business?

We can support you with recruiting a new apprentice or enrolling an eligible existing member of your team onto an apprenticeship.

Our team can help you through the process, from initial recruitment and enrolment through to training, assessment and completion.

Depending on the apprenticeship and your location, training can take place at one of our established training centres across England or within the workplace.

Develop Your Existing Team

Apprenticeships aren't just for new employees.

They can also provide a valuable opportunity to develop eligible existing members of your workforce, helping them gain new knowledge and skills while continuing in their role.

We'll work with you to identify suitable apprenticeship opportunities and provide the training and support they need to progress.

Mentor or Assess Apprentices

Want your team to play a bigger role in developing the next generation?

Getting your existing team involved in developing the next generation can be rewarding in many ways.

Your experienced staff can support apprentices as workplace mentors or develop their skills further to become involved in assessment, building valuable mentoring, leadership and assessment skills along the way.
