Advice from our Training Consultants – What an Apprentice Could Do for Your Business
At KEITS, our experienced Training Consultants work closely with employers across a range of industries – from animal care and equine, to horticulture, dog grooming, and business services. They see first-hand the difference an apprentice can make to a workplace, and have shared their top insights into what an apprentice could do for your business.
1. Bring fresh energy and enthusiasm
Apprentices often arrive with a genuine passion for the industry and a real eagerness to learn. Their enthusiasm can be contagious, helping to re-energise teams and bring a fresh perspective to day-to-day tasks.
“It’s amazing how quickly apprentices become part of the team,” says one of our Training Consultants. “They’re keen to learn and often introduce new ideas or ways of working that benefit everyone.”
2. Help your business grow
Hiring an apprentice can be a cost-effective way to support business growth. Apprentices can take on practical tasks that free up senior staff, helping the business run more efficiently. With the right training and mentoring, they quickly become a valuable, productive member of the team.
“Many employers also choose to retain their apprentices once they complete their qualification – creating a pipeline of skilled, loyal staff who understand your business from the ground up.”
3. Strengthen your future workforce
Apprenticeships are a great way to invest in your company’s future. Training someone to your standards ensures that your team has the skills your business really needs. By nurturing talent early, you can shape the next generation of professionals who are aligned with your values and goals.
4. Benefit from government support
There’s never been a better time to consider taking on an apprentice. Government incentives are available for those apprentices ages between 16-18 years and KEITS can guide you through the process to access these.
5. Make a real difference
Supporting an apprentice doesn’t just benefit your business – it helps create opportunities for individuals to start meaningful careers. You’ll be helping someone gain skills, experience, and confidence that will stay with them for life.
