Benefits of Apprenticeships for Small Businesses
Small businesses in the UK could offer more than a million new apprenticeships, something the country really needs.
An apprenticeship is a great opportunity for many school leavers who for whatever reason can’t or don’t want to go to university. Sadly, these valuable and much-needed opportunities are getting harder to come by.
All businesses and especially small ones can actually benefit greatly by offering apprenticeships.

You are giving young people a real chance to develop a long-term career
You are helping build a strong workforce for the future
It will create a positive impact on your business and support growth
It’s a highly cost-effective way to ensure you have the trained staff you need
There are grants available to help and you can claim support for up to 5 apprentices.
