Whether your business is large or small, an apprenticeship offers a practical hands-on solution to filling skills gaps as well as an attractive incentive for recruiting keen and motivated staff. We can help you to develop apprenticeship schemes that are unique to your business and will provide you with fully trained and highly knowledgeable employees.

An apprenticeship is made up of three distinct elements which will provide your employees with all the training they need: a Technical Certificate provides the skills and knowledge essential to successful employment in your business; a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) demonstrates that these skills can be put in to practice; and a Key Skills Qualification develops vital employability skills including communication, application of number, information technology, problem solving, working with others and improving individual learning.

Tesco and City & Guilds have developed an apprenticeship programme that enables employees to gain a wide understanding and experience of retail. The company has found that staff who have completed their apprenticeship are much more confident and feel encouraged to further their careers with Tesco by applying for more senior positions.
