How do apprenticeships benefit employers?

Apprenticeships help businesses to develop a well qualified and motivated workforce. Here at Barking & Dagenham College we train over 600 apprentices every year, so we know first-hand the benefits they can offer to businesses large and small.

A typical apprenticeship programme is a combination of ‘on-the-job’ training, together with college work, which is tailored so it’s right for the employer and the apprentice.

If you are looking for a position as an apprenticeship and need help finding one, the National Apprenticeship Service offer a vacancy matching programme. Just go to www.apprenticeships.org.uk to find out more.
