Apprenticeships - Employer's Guide


Preparing your team for the future

Apprenticeships combine practical experience with theoretical knowledge, helping your staff learn all the skills of the job and gain nationally recognised qualifications.

At Business Solutions at West Lancashire College, our wide range of Apprenticeship programmes are a combination of assessment in the workplace and college-based learning. What’s more, Apprenticeships are designed with employers like you in mind, ensuring that the course meets your specific business skills needs.

Who is eligible for an Apprenticeship?

We can offer an Apprenticeship to anyone aged between 16 years or over. So if you'd like to employ an Apprentice or train a current employee in your vocational area, we can help.

How do I get staff enrolled on an Apprenticeship?

Firstly, you need to select a member of staff or a new recruit who you would like to train through an Apprenticeship programme. If you are looking for a new recruit we have a large database of individuals wishing to do an Apprenticeship, so we will be happy to help you find a suitable candidate.

Next, you need to get in touch with our Business Solutions Team who will discuss your needs and help get your staff member(s) enrolled. Call us on 01695 52409 and we will be in touch.
