The truth about apprenticeships

Find out about some of the facts surrounding apprenticeships below.

Apprentices do not have to attend college every week

The off job training requirement does not mean an apprentice has to attend college one day per week. We use a blended approach which includes: online learning, research and project work, classroom sessions both physical and virtual, employer led activity and 1.2.1 sessions in the workplace.

The paperwork and process is not complicated

The paperwork and process is simple. Yes – there are a few things that you will need to sign and set up, but our team is on hand to guide you through every step of the way.

Apprenticeships are not just for school and college leavers

Apprenticeships are not just for school and college leavers. Existing employees could be eligible and suitable for apprenticeships too – they are a great way to support individuals who require development, have changed roles, gained additional responsibilities or recently been promoted.

Apprenticeships are usually fully funded

Apprenticeships are not expensive and are usually fully funded. Whether you’re paying full cost from your levy or the 5% co-investment fee we believe that apprenticeships are great value for money. All of our programmes follow a rich curriculum that enables apprentices to not just learn something new but to embed and develop these skills to improve their performance at work. In some instances, grants are available to help with costs.

It's easy to recruit an apprentice, (they may already be in post!)

Recruiting a new apprentice is easy. Our team will work with you to help source a new team member – we use the National Apprenticeship Service, our digital channels and work with colleagues in Essex County Council to find the right person for your position.
