Hire Apprentices and Grow Your Business
Use Apprenticeship Levy to hire IT and digital talent, or up-skill existing workforce with higher level programmes.
Apprenticeships Benefiting Business
In a survey commissioned by the government, 86% of employers said apprenticeships helped them develop skills relevant to their organisation. A further 74% said apprenticeships helped them to improve the quality of their product or service.
The UK has a digital skills gap, and apprenticeships are a great way to get young talent into IT, digital and technical roles – supporting business needs and enhancing the skills the UK needs.
Crucially, for employers, hiring an apprentice will improve the bottom line. On average, higher level apprenticeships delivering £20 of productivity for every £1 invested – according to The National Apprenticeship Service.
Utilising the Apprenticeship Levy
As apprenticeships are financially supported by the government, they are a great way to reduce the cost of bringing in new talent to businesses. Also, there are no recruitment fees when matching a candidate with roles so companies can recruit the ideal candidate free of charge.
The aim of the Apprenticeship Levy was to improve the quality and quantity of Apprenticeships in England. Utilising this fund is an opportune way to hire and upskill staff.
