Can I still access Apprenticeships if I don’t have a vacancy?
Yes, absolutely. Your existing employees could still benefit from Apprenticeship training. The College will help you to determine which Apprenticeship framework would be most appropriate for your member of staff. The same fees would apply to existing staff as to new Apprentices.
If you already employ 16 – 18 year olds then you could enrol them on to an Apprenticeship training programme at no cost. The College would subsidise training for any of your employees over 19 years of age, but you would need to make a small contribution to the cost of their programme.
