Since the countdown is on to national apprenticeship week, we thought we’d give you the top ten advantages of adding an apprentice to your team!

Apprenticeships are fast becoming the most preferred pathway to progress onto or up the career ladder. Businesses who offer this form of training view them as beneficial to long term company development and believe they can vastly improve the skills base within a business.

Do you want this for your business? Here are our top benefits of hiring an apprentice to join your team…

• Apprentices tend to be very eager and motivated which can also then motivate your current work force.

• The apprenticeship framework is more ‘job’ related than any other type of learning, the qualifications they partake in make them a valuable member of staff.

• Apprentices tend to stay and grow within a business due to the fact they chose to go down this vocational pathway and have a genuine interest in it.

• It has been proved that apprentices tend to improve productivity within a business, helping you to become more competitive within your industry.

• Employing a younger apprentice can mean that they will bring with them fresh, new, vibrant ideas to your business.

• Training apprentices is a more cost effective process of hiring staff as there is lower overall training and recruitment costs.

• Giving an apprentice an opportunity to work within your business means they are more likely to feel valued leading to increased morale, loyalty and retention.

• Apprenticeships aren’t just for youngsters, you can also choose to up-skill your current staff and they can train toward qualifications whilst on the job. This can also increase productivity within your workforce and improve overall confidence within your team.

• It can improve your brand image and reputation, 81% of consumers have stated that they are more likely to favour a company who take on apprentices than those who don’t.

• You are able to grow your own workforce with apprentices and shape their training and development to fit in with your business objectives, leading to further success.
