Who employs the apprentice?

We do. Apprentices for Business is an Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA). Our services provide companies with a completely different approach to the recruitment and employment of apprentices. We are the legal employer and place our apprentices with a suitable ‘host’ company.

Similar to a recruitment agency, our ATA model manages all of the HR, payroll and employment functions, relieving the host employer of the administrative burden and costs involved in taking on a new member of staff.

 

Who organises the training?

We source and arrange the training for your apprentice, liaising with Colleges and training providers to ensure  the most appropriate training programme that fully matches the job role. Host employers can collaborate in this process if they want to. For a list of the training providers we work with see Training

 

Who supports the apprentice?

We all do. Every apprentice is supported throughout their training by us, their supervisor and their training provider. Any issues relating to work or training can be resolved quickly and efficiently through us. Both host companies and apprentices have commented on how invaluable our support is in helping them through the Apprenticeship.
