Policy overview
This policy describes our approach to apprenticeships. We, along with community and voluntary controlled schools, are an apprenticeship levy-paying organisation. We support apprentices with their development for job roles.
Employing apprentices helps to:
- maximise levy funds
- develop a committed and competent workforce
- fill skills gaps
- meet resource needs
- develop employees to meet future requirements of the workplace
All employees are eligible to consider an apprenticeship training programme. This can be beneficial for:
- new recruits
- existing employees who want to develop within their current role
- existing employees interested in a change in career
We encourage employees with protected characteristics to enter apprenticeships.
