Apprenticeships benefit employers and individuals by boosting skills and improving productivity. An apprenticeship is a job with training. It is a way for existing or new employees to learn and gain valuable skills, knowledge and behaviours while they work. Apprenticeships are available across 170 industries. Businesses of all sizes and sectors can offer an apprenticeship through Fareport and they normally last anything from 12 months to 2 years. 

 

How do I fund an apprenticeship? 

How do I know if we pay the levy? 

Management apprenticeships get a hard time in the FE and HR press. Journalists reel at the uptake in apprenticeships for “managers” and older employees, rather than young and newly recruited employees. Many people don’t realise that apprenticeships have been created for all levels, not just the traditional young apprentices as it was in the past. We believe strongly that there is a place for both types of apprenticeships. 

We wrote a piece back in April 2017 with information on the new Apprenticeship standards; nearly a year on, we take another look at how the new standards are developing and how they are being received by industries. 

 

If you work within a levy paying employer, you have no doubt by now heard about the new apprenticeship funding and may be wondering how and if your business will ever get started.
