How to recruit an apprentice
The first step is to get in touch with us to talk about the apprenticeship programme in more detail and make sure it’s the right decision for your team or organisation.
If you’re happy to proceed with recruiting an apprentice, we’ll advertise your vacancy onto the National Find an Apprenticeship website and promote it. You’ll need promote it too by advertising on your website, social media and with any relevant contacts you have.
Once the advert has closed, we’ll review all the applications and score candidates for you. You will select and interview the candidates of your choice.
Then, once you’ve decided on your preferred candidate, it’s back to us to undertake a second interview and proceed with the initial assessments. We’ll let you know the outcome of the second interview and assessments and if the candidate is eligible for the apprenticeship programme, you can proceed with their employment.
You may already have someone in mind for your apprenticeship position. This could be an existing member of staff or someone who has approached you directly. We’ll meet with you to talk about the apprenticeship programme and then move straight to the second interview and assessment stage.
