Why should you take on an apprentice?

Apprenticeships can be a great way to enhance your workforce. Using apprenticeships in your hiring process brings a number of benefits for organisations looking to expand their teams. In honour of National Apprenticeship Week, we are covering the top reasons why you should take on an apprentice. 

Gain qualified staff 

On an apprenticeship programme apprentices work within their chosen field while completing a qualification. This means that not only will your apprentice be fully qualified for their role by the end of their programme, but they will also be actively learning while working meaning that they will have the most up to date information, compliance and standards. 

Hire motivated team members 

Apprenticeship programmes are a commitment, individual on these programmes commit to their training programme. These learners are actively looking to not only get a job within a specific sector but also to become fully qualified in their field, leading to motivated and passionate members of staff who are keen to learn and develop within their chosen field. 

Corporate Social Responsibility 

By providing opportunities for young people to enter the workforce, particularly if they are from disadvantaged backgrounds that don’t traditionally attend university you will be supporting Corporate Social Responsibility for your business.
