WHY CONSIDER HIRING AN APPRENTICE?

Here are the key benefits:

• The Department for the Economy (DfE) covers the full costs of the directed (off-the-job) training element of the apprenticeship;
• Employers are eligible for an Incentive Payment of £500 when their apprentice successfully completes all targeted qualifications on their apprenticeship framework;
• The DfE-funded training, coupled with a reduced National Minimum Wage rate for apprentices, makes employing an apprentice more cost-effective than hiring skilled staff. Additionally, apprentices can be trained from the outset to adopt methods tailored to your business;
• Enjoy increased enthusiasm, motivation, and loyalty from apprentices who have actively chosen this career path;
• The blend of on-the-job and off-the-job training ensures apprentices benefit from experienced staff familiar with your business, while also learning new skills and techniques from qualified trainers. This investment in staff development leads to heightened productivity, enhanced competitiveness, and a proficient workforce;
• Apprentices can fill skills gaps by acquiring specialist skills tailored to your business needs, keeping you updated on the latest technologies;
• Beyond hiring new employees, you can upskill your existing workforce through the ApprenticeshipsNI Programme.
