Why take on an apprentice?
Employers taking on apprentices stand to benefit in a number of ways:
• ZERO employer course contribution until 31st July
(usually 50% course fees to be covered)
• As an employer you could be eligible for a number of grants if you take on an apprentice, from the newly introduced Age Grant of £1500 to our Employer Grant of £2500.*
• Apprenticeships provide your employees with expertise that is specific to the industry and directly relevant to your business
• Improved retention especially in high turnover sectors, with apprentices five times more likely to stay with a company than their peers who have not undergone apprenticeship training (Labour Force Study 2001-2004)
• Recruitment programme supported by BrightonandHoveJobs.com and City College’s employment team City Jobs
• On-course support from the City Business Skills team
• Improved apprentice productivity through relevant training and immediate positive contribution to the workplace
• Membership of City Business Club - an opportunity to meet other businesses in Sussex and attend our monthly networking forums
• Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility
