Modern Apprenticeships can help you build your business from the inside, by helping employees to expand their knowledge and skills. Whether or not you already have in-house training in place, Modern Apprenticeships can boost your staff development efforts by providing a structure for the vocational training of employees.
Modern Apprenticeships are available in a number of sectors, with the format of training decided by the appropriate Sector Skills Council for that sector. Trainees are generally encouraged to progress through the various levels of qualification available, although this isn't the only focus of the vocational training. Modern Apprenticeships also instil in trainees a range of 'soft skills' around communication, teamwork and problem solving, as well as improved numerical and IT skills.
All trainees must be in employment to participate. The Tell Organisation can access funding, through Skills Development Scotland to either fully fund or significantly contribute towards training costs. The return for your investment will improve productivity, and attract and retain better staff.
Funding for Modern Apprenticeships is primarily for 16 to 19 year olds but can be available for over 20 year olds in certain sectors
