The positive impact of employing an apprentice are proven and long-established:
Over 78% of employers report an increase in productivity after hiring apprentices. Apprentices have a passion for their chosen career and want to become the best at what they do.
You can decide which skills and knowledge your apprentices will learn, ensuring that any current or future skills gaps are covered.
90% of apprentices stay with their employer longer and are more loyal to the company where they were trained.
An apprentice can be trained to fit a specific role in your organisation, and can be moulded in line with your ethos and culture from day one; this means no bad habits to undo. 86% of employers said apprentices developed skills that were specific to their organisation.
Keeping up with changes in technology and new ways of working can be challenging for any business. Apprentices are trained in the very latest techniques and approaches, and can bring a fresh perspective to any company.
