Why employ an apprentice

It’s no secret that employing apprentices is positive for business.

At The Learning Foundry, we support businesses looking to recruit new members to their team through our high quality apprenticeship programmes.

Available to anyone over the age of 16 and covering all levels and abilities, apprenticeships give employers the perfect opportunity to develop staff in-house. 

All of our programmes are delivered in line with national standards and have been developed alongside industry professionals to meet the individual needs of the businesses we work with.

At the end of the apprenticeship programme, you can be confident that your newly qualified member of staff will be fully equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to make an instant impact to your business.

The Apprenticeship Levy Intro

Apprenticeship Levy

In the UK, the Apprenticeship Levy encourages businesses to take on more apprentices. 

It is a payment made by large employers (with an annual pay bill of over £3 million) on their tax bill. 

If your business is paying the levy, it is an opportunity to access training at no additional cost to your business. At The Learning Foundry, we’ll support you so you get the most out of your levy payments.
