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.
