Have you thought about taking on an apprentice, but never quite made the decision?

Maybe it’s time to think again…

Accountancy and Tax Apprenticeships have changed. The benefits to your company are now much clearer to see. In this short clip we show how they can make that positive impact.

With the Government’s financial incentives, there’s never been a better time to take on an apprentice.

For employers considering Level 7 Accountancy & Tax Apprenticeships, and with little time to spare, we have developed a 6 minute guide for you.

This guide covers the commercial and practical factors when deciding to take on a Level 7 apprentice.

We’ve broken it down into 6 small chunks:

• Overview
• How the Apprenticeships are funded
• How long it will take
• Exemptions, and how to convert existing trainees onto the programme
• What is the 20% rule? How your business can manage the training element
• Next steps.

Watch the 6 minute clip to get all the information you need.

Apprenticeships have gone through significant changes over the last 5 years with the introduction of new funding mechanisms and employer-driven standards, focused around job roles. However, for many micro-employers the relevance of these changes can seem remote.

Firstly the new standards have been criticised by some for failing to include very small businesses in their design. Furthermore, there continues to be a myth around the bureaucracy of Apprenticeship funding which, understandably, can be very off-putting for smaller organisations.

In this webinar we aim to dispel some of these myths and show how making use of Apprenticeships can have real business benefits for micro-employers.

We will cover:

• What Apprenticeships are and who can be eligible to undertake one
• The range of Apprenticeships available and what the different levels represent
• How funding works and extra incentives you may entitled to as a micro-employer such as, free funding for 16-18 year olds
• How the process works for enrolling an employee onto an Apprenticeship scheme
• Key considerations for managers responsible for apprentices
• Recruitment support available to help you find new apprentices

The new year is a great time to explore new opportunities that will fully prepare you for the next step in your career.
