Implementing an apprenticeship strategy is not only affordable and worthy but also hugely beneficial for all businesses.  Apprenticeship opportunities can form part of a robust employee benefits package which can help attract the most ambitious, conscientious talent looking for an employer who is serious about developing their potential. With so many employers facing staffing shortages, there’s never been a better time to make a company stand out in a competitive jobs market. By accounting for specific business needs or skills that an employee already possesses, elements of an apprenticeship programme can be accelerated and this is a key feature that companies are keen to utilise.
