How do I hire an Apprentice?

We suggest that you consider the following points when deciding whether an apprenticeship is best for your organisation:

• Where is there a need for additional resource in your organisation?
• Who will be the mentor for your apprentice?
• Will you need to invest in any extra facilities to accommodate your apprentice?
