Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are real jobs that give individuals the opportunity to earn while they learn, gaining valuable knowledge, skills and behaviours tailored to a specific job role. 

As an employer, hiring an apprentice allows you to invest in the future by bringing in talent that fits your business needs. Apprenticeships also allow you continue to upskill existing employees to develop their skills. 

Here at Dudley College, we work with hundreds of employers across the Black Country, West Midlands and beyond to provide a range of apprenticeships in subject areas including Engineering, Healthcare and Management.  

What are the benefits to employers?  

  • Innovation: Apprentices can bring new ideas and innovation to your business. 
  • Flexibility: Apprenticeships are flexible, and many programmes are available to start at any time of year. 
  • Cost-effective: Apprenticeships are really cost-effective way to develop your workforce – in some instances costing you nothing at all.* (*Dependent on levy status) 
  • Progression: Apprenticeships offer fantastic progression options so you can develop your future managers. 
  • Grow talent within your business: Apprenticeships are suitable for people at any age and any level so you can hire someone new or upskill an existing employee, allowing you to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. They help you to: 
  • Offer on-the-job training in a safe working environment 
  • Build a culture of learning and development 
  • Enjoy higher staff retention and morale 
  • Promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace
