Apprentices make things happen. Now more than ever, it is time to plan for the future. There are many reasons why Apprentices are good for business and why Northbrook College has amongst the highest success rates for Apprentices in England. Apprentices are motivated and can make a real contribution to your business as valued members of staff from day one. By training an Apprentice you can fill any skills gaps with a workforce having direct relevance to your business. The Apprenticeship Team at Northbrook can help you find the right Apprentice for your business in a wide range of industries and will support you both through the Apprenticeship, giving frequent feedback on progress.
Apprentices will be working alongside your staff for most of the week gaining valuable knowledge and attending College for one day. The training is FREE for Apprentices age 16-18. You have to pay your Apprentice an appropriate wage. This means an Apprenticeship is a very cost-effective way of training.
Apprentices can be new members of staff or those you currently employ. A survey by the LSC has shown that employers of Apprentices believe they have higher productivity and lower staff turnover, they are more competitive and that Apprentices are cost-effective and a real asset to their business.
