£2,000 incentive for Employers

There are many reasons how taking on an apprentice could help your business grow. You could fill a skill gap, develop the skills of your team and reduce staff turnover. Apprentices must be over 16 however there is no upper age limit now, therefore apprenticeships are also a positive way to upskill your current employees. 

This is an exciting time for employers as Chancellor Rishi Sunak has just announced new Incentives for those taking part in the Apprenticeships scheme. For each new apprentice you hire before 31st January the incentive is £2,000 for those aged under 25, and £1,500 for those aged 25 and over. This is in addition to the existing £1,000 payment the government already provides. Learn More 

Over 700,000 people will leave education this year, so let’s support them as they take the first steps of their career. Our dedicated team will assist you throughout the entire process. We will work with you and provide advice about recruitment, training, funding and progression. 

So how does it work?

• It is simple for an apprentice to begin.
• Brooklands College would advertise your vacancy on our website and the National Apprenticeship Service website gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship.
• Potential apprentices apply.
• Employers interview and select the apprentice.
• Qualified, professional Brooklands College assessors regularly support both the apprentice and the employer throughout the apprenticeship.

In September, we are excited to launch a new range of apprenticeships. We currently offer apprenticeships in Business Administration, Customer Service, Commis Chef, Construction, Engineering, Hair and Beauty, Installation Electrician, Childcare and Teaching Assistants.

Apprenticeships are a great way to improve staff retention, diversify and freshen the workforce. 78% of businesses reported improved productivity when they employed an apprentice… Our team are working throughout the summer and would be pleased to discuss how an apprentice could benefit your business.
