Introduction

Over 130,000 workplace offer apprentice places because they understand the benefits that apprentices bring to their business – increased productivity, improved competitiveness and a committed and competent work-force. Improve your bottom line Apprenticeships deliver real returns to your bottom line, with Apprenticeships helping them to improve productivity and to be more competitive. Training apprentices can also be more cost effective than hiring skilled staff, leading to lower overall training and recruitment costs.

Benefits of Placed Apprentices

Fill your skills gaps

• Apprenticeships deliver skills designed around your business needs providing the

skilled workers you need for the future. They also help you develop the specialist skills you need to keep pace with the latest technology and working practices in your sector. Motivate your workforce

• Apprentices tend to be eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the company that

invested in them. Remember, an apprentice is with you because they want to be – they have made an active choice to learn on the job and a commitment to a specific career.

Benefits of Placed Apprentices

• A placed apprentice is a young person, typically 16 to 18 who is seeking a

job with training

• A placed apprentice is paid at a reduced rate, rather than the normal

minimum wage, in order to reflect their limited experience on entry to the business. As such, this could help save on payroll costs in your business whilst the individual is trained to meet your company requirements

• A typical starting weekly rate is in the region of £100 plus travel costs if

appropriate

• The young person benefits from gaining valuable employment experience

and a qualification relevant to your industry

Recruiting a Placed Apprentice

The Process

On line Application

Young people apply online via our web site The site is promoted by local schools, Connexions offices and career events During the application we gather information on qualifications, work experience, hobbies and interests A steady flow of applicants means that we usually have someone ready to send for interview as soon as you place your vacancy with us.

The Process

The system captures all the information on the vacancy, which is used to advertise the role and to discuss it with potential applicants You can add any additional questions you would like asked of any individual We agree some provisional interview and start dates to aim for, but the timescales are flexible around your needs

Understanding Requirements

The Process

We create a list of applicants who can then be selected for short listing based on their exam results and proximity to your business and interest in the role These applicants will then be interviewed by one of our trained

• perators

We can view these using a Google map function

Shortlisting

Your exact location can be viewed in relation to all applicants, ensuring people are able to travel sensibly to work in a cost effective manner This reduces late arrivals and absence

Shortlisting - Geography

The Process

Questions are structured and consistent to ensure a fair comparison between applicants Operators are trained to interview including how and when to help applicants with prompts All additional support is recorded and taken into account when scores are calculated Interview scores are expressed as a percentage giving an “at a glance” view of who should be sent to meet you as a perspective employer

We Interview

The Process

• We arrange a suitable date and time for you to meet those candidates

selected for interview

• We can offer additional support with suggested interview questions if

required

• You complete your own interviews and make the final decisions. (We ask that

you remember that these are young people, who will be nervous)

• We will follow up each interview with a brief call to gain feedback and inform

applicants of your decisions, giving advice to unsuccessful candidates where possible

You Interview

The Process

• Assuming you have selected a suitable candidate we will agree a start date

with you and them

• On the day, we will visit your branch arriving slightly before the candidate, to

ensure all is well and, if necessary, complete a brief health & safety check

begin the enrolment process to start their qualification
