Each apprenticeship programme has been designed by industry employer-led “trailblazer” groups to fully meet employer business needs and make sure apprentices are more highly skilled and productive in their role. You can get help from the government to pay for apprenticeship training. The amount you get depends on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy or not. You pay the levy if you’re an employer with a pay bill over £3 million each year.

No you can hire someone new or upskill an existing employee. Apprentices can be school leavers, university graduates, or people who want to further their careers or change career direction completely

Ginger Nut’s programmes are delivered at our employer’s premises and our training is totally flexible around the needs of the employee and line manager, with a tailored scheme of work and Individual Learning Plan developed to fit around specific needs.

Having apprentices is a highly effective way to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. In a recent Government survey, 86% of employers said apprenticeships helped them develop skills relevant to their organisation, 78% of employers said apprenticeships helped them improve productivity, 74% of employers said apprenticeships helped them improve the quality of their product or service.
