  2. The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) Vision The National Apprenticeship Service’s vision is that by 2020 every employer will value an Apprenticeship as the key route to equipping them with the skills they need for their business. Mission The National Apprenticeship Service has responsibility for delivery of Apprenticeships through the pursuit of three key principles: • supporting employers; • stimulating high quality demand from individuals; and • ensuring that training is relevant, timely and high quality.

  3. What is an Apprenticeship? • Work based training programme • Aimed at current and future employees • Designed by business for business • Focus on the whole job, not just individual skills • On – and off-the-job education and training

  4. Apprenticeships Structure • Available for all ages (public contribution varies) • Available at three levels: • Apprenticeship at Level 2 (Equivalent to 5 GCSEs A- C grade) • Advanced Apprenticeship to Level 3 (Equivalent to 2 A Levels) • Higher Apprenticeships at Level 4 (Incorporating foundation degree) • Structured around 4 core elements: • Competence based qualification (NVQ) • Underpinning knowledge (Technical Certificate) • Numeracy & literacy (Key Skills) • Employers Rights and Responsibilities

  5. Benefits to Employers Summary bottom line business benefits: • Clear return on investment • Greater productivity • Lower recruitment costs • Lower training and retention costs • Increase employee satisfaction • Greater loyalty and quality of work

  6. What does it cost? • If your apprentice is aged between 16 and 18, Government funding will cover the cost of their training. If they are aged over 19 the employer may be required to make a contribution towards the training cost. • The employer pays the Apprentice a salary reflective of industry rates and experience. The minimum wage is £2.50 per hour but the average is £170 a week. • They can be a new recruit or an existing member of staff. • Apprenticeships are open to all age ranges, but to attract the government funding you will need to meet eligibility criteria such as being employed with a contract of employment and needing to work a minimum of 30 hours (though we can consider part time if they can complete the framework in the hours worked).
