What are the business benefits of employing an apprentice?
Apprenticeships are a tried and tested way to develop new talent, and upskill existing talent. Employers who use apprenticeships to support their training plans often notice a reduction in staff turnover, and an increase in employee loyalty and satisfaction.
Additionally, they can be a more cost-effective way to recruit new staff and make succession plans for the future.
