EMPLOY an Apprentice

The Manchester College is the largest college in the north west and one of the region's leading training providers.

We have a great deal of experience in training apprentices and can handle everything from the first enquiry right through to qualification.

Why should you employ an apprentice?

  • To gain skilled, qualified and loyal staff in a cost effective way
  • To ensure your staff have the most up-to-date training relevant to your business
  • To ensure your business keeps up with the latest industry standards
  • To make your business more competitive by addressing skills shortages
  • To motivate your current workforce to be more productive
  • To enhance the performance and reputation of your business

How do Apprenticeships work?

Apprenticeships are a cost effective way for you to develop highly skilled, productive and loyal employees.

Do you have a gap in your workforce that could be filled by an apprentice?
Do you have existing staff who could qualify for an Apprenticeship?
The Manchester College can work with you to make it happen.

Apprentices usually do most of their learning at work and attend some college classes. How many classes they attend depends on the sector and their role.

You would pay your apprentice a salary while they are training. You would be entitled to funding from the Skills Funding Agency to help with the training costs.
