APPRENTICESHIP SETUP AND SUPPORT

Apprenticeships can be a really effective way to build skills and grow your team. They can also feel complicated to get started with, especially if you’re short on time or want support navigating the process.

​

This service is about making the set up and early stages of apprenticeships simpler, clearer and easier to manage.

WHO THIS SUPPORT IS FOR

This works well if you’re:
​

  • An employer looking to recruit your first apprentice and want to get it right

  • An organisation that understands apprenticeships but wants support with a new role or intake

  • A team that doesn’t have the time or capacity to manage the set up process internally

  • A business that wants practical, hands-on support rather than generic advice

​
It’s used by small and growing businesses, and by teams within larger organisations who want extra support at the point it matters most.

WHAT THIS SUPPORT CAN INCLUDE

Support is practical and shaped around your situation. Depending on what you need, this might include:
​

  • Talking through whether apprenticeships are the right option for the role

  • Helping you define the role properly before you recruit

  • Advising on suitable apprenticeship standards and routes

  • Supporting recruitment and selection in a way that makes sense for your business

  • Helping you navigate training providers and delivery options

  • Making sure everything is set up properly before an apprentice starts

​
The focus is on making the process clearer and easier to manage, so you can move forward with confidence.

HOW THE SUPPORT IS STRUCTURED

Support is flexible and shaped around what you need. There isn’t a single “right” way to do this.

​

In practice, support is often structured in one of the following ways.

​

A lighter-touch approach
This works well for employers who want guidance and reassurance at key points, but are happy to manage parts of the process themselves. Support focuses on helping you make the right decisions and sense-check plans as you go.

​

A more hands-on approach
This suits employers who want practical support with the set up and early stages of an apprenticeship. We take a more active role, helping to manage key parts of the process so it feels manageable and well organised.

​

If neither of these quite fits, that’s fine. Support can be shaped around your capacity, priorities and how involved you want to be.
