Support for schools recruiting apprentices

The Apprenticeship Hub at Warwickshire County Council will be happy to support you and your school with advice and information about apprenticeships and the apprenticeship levy*. We can help you to choose a training provider, promote your apprenticeship vacancies, and for those schools who are part of the WCC levy, enable you to pay for apprenticeship training through the Digital Apprenticeship Service.

(*More information about the apprenticeship levy can be found in the February issue of Heads Up)

Before recruiting an apprentice, it is important that you are engaged with a training provider who will provide the apprenticeship training for your apprentice once they are in post. The provider will support you with the recruitment of the apprentice by advertising the role for you, and some providers even assess the candidates for you if you prefer that. The Apprenticeship Hub can help you to choose a provider. We have engaged with a large number of providers in the Warwickshire sub-region and in many cases used their services for apprenticeships at WCC, so we are able to provide a balanced view on who you can benefit from engaging with for apprenticeship delivery.
