Step two

Kent Apprenticeships works with KATO (Kent Association of Training Organisations) and NAS (National Apprenticeships Service) to find the training provider best suited to your business needs.

Step three

Kent Apprenticeships and the training provider will advise you about contracts, wages and your commitment to the Apprentice. The provider will visit you to determine your needs, assess the job role and risk assess the work environment.

Step four

With the help of the training provider, create a job description for your Apprenticeship vacancy. Kent Apprenticeships and the training provider will work with you to advertise your job through Apprenticeship Vacancies Online.

Step five

You receive a selection of suitable applications, which you shortlist for interview. Following the interviews, you appoint your Apprentice.

On-going advice and support

Once your Apprentice has been appointed, he or she starts work with your organisation as an employee. The training provider will meet you regularly to discuss the Apprentice's progress and suggest relevant work-based tasks which will help your Apprentice achieve the necessary qualifications.

“Even in today's uncertain economic climate, we believe that young people like Tom can help local businesses grow and from experience, we can reassure other companies that taking on Apprentices is very worthwhile and the processes are more straightforward than one might think.”
