APPRENTICESHIPS

EMPLOYER GUIDANCE:

AD deliver apprenticeships to both Levy and Non-Levy Employers.

 

LEVY EMPLOYERS: Will pay the full cost of the negotiated funding for an apprenticeship program via their ‘LEVY’ Account.

 

NON-LEVY: Will pay 5% of the negotiated funding if their organisation employs more than 50 employees or if the apprentice is aged 19 or over.

WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?

An apprenticeship is a job that comes with training, support and career progression.

Just like any other job, you’ll have your own role, responsibilities and salary. You’ll also receive training from professional tutors. In 1 to 2 years, you’ll complete your apprenticeship and be ready and qualified to take the next step into your new career! 

Here are a few more benefits of an apprenticeship:

  • Gain experience and skills that employers want

  • Earn a nationally recognised qualification

  • Enjoy a salary of at least the apprentice minimum wage

  • Pay no learning costs, debt or student finance

  • Receive all employee benefits

  • Begin work at 16 (apprenticeships for 16-year-olds to 116-year olds!)

  • Meet new people and challenges

WHAT IS THE APPRENTICESHIP CRITERIA?

To become an apprentice, you must:

  • be 16 or over

  • not already be in full-time education or any other government funded program

  • live in England

  • You can start an apprenticeship whether you’re starting your career, want a change or you're up-skilling in your current job. You can have a previous qualification like a degree and still start an apprenticeship.

WHAT WILL YOU DO AS AN APPRENTICE?

As an apprentice you’ll:

  • learn and train for a specific job

  • get paid and receive holiday leave

  • get hands-on experience in a real job

  • study for at least 20% of your working hours - usually at a college, university or with a training provider

  • complete assessments during and at the end of your apprenticeship

  • be on a career path with lots of future potential
