Benefits to an employer

  • Skills Bootcamps allow you to upskill your own staff for free

Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is a work-based training which combines practical training in a job with an in-depth study programme.

As an apprentice you are a full-time member of staff working alongside experienced staff and gaining job-specific skills.

All apprenticeships include elements of on-the-job and off-the-job training, leading to industry recognised standards or qualifications that are specific to your career.

An apprenticeship may require an assessment at the end of the programme to assess ability and competency in the job role.

 

Benefits to an employer

  • Apprenticeships have been shown to significantly increase employee retention
  • Fill a skills gap that a business might have in the future
  • Apprentices are motivated and bring enthusiasm into the workforce

T-Levels

T Levels are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses. Equivalent in size to 3 A levels, a T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher study or apprenticeships.

Each T Level includes an in-depth industry placement that lasts at least 45 days. Students get valuable experience in the workplace; employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry.

T Level students spend 80% of the course in their learning environment, gaining the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action.

 

Benefits to an employer

  • Grow your talent pipeline
  • Attract a new generation of recruits from new sources
  • Tackle skill shortages
  • A chance to see potential future recruits using their skills and abilities
  • Streamline recruitment processes
