Research recently conducted on behalf of the LSC (Populus. February 2008) to launch the first National Apprenticeship Week.

Apprenticeships are all about giving your employees the skills and qualifications your organisation needs now and in the future.

Learning is vocational, based around an employee’s everyday role and responsibilities, with additional training, support (and access to potential funding) provided by a specialist provider like A4e Skills.

Apprenticeships are the proven way to train your workforce. They can make your organisation more effective, productive and competitive by addressing your skills gaps directly.

The Apprenticeship programme has been designed to help your employees reach a high level of competency and performance and with over 180 different types of Apprenticeships, there’s bound to be a place for an apprentice in your organisation.

A4e Skills can help you recruit Apprentices and support your ongoing Apprenticeship programme.
