The reasons to start hiring apprentices for your business are stacking up. Not only will you get a chance to hire a dedicated member of staff that wants to grow and succeed with your business, there are also financial incentives available from the government.
By hiring an apprentice you’re investing in the future of your new employee, the future of the workforce in your industry and in your long-term business productivity. Apprentices are more likely to stay with your company long-term and will be trained to your standards.
The government funds up to 100% of apprenticeships – the support you can receive is dependent on the size of your company (your total wage bill being under or over £3m/annum), and the age of your apprentice (16-21 years old or 22 and over).
You can hire as many apprentices as you like and can get financial support for up to 5 apprentices at any one time. The apprenticeships will last from 1-4 years depending on the qualification they are studying for.
