It’s a common misconception that apprentices have to be young school-leavers, but anyone can be an apprentice within your organisation. These apprentices can work towards globally accredited qualifications in professional sectors, such as marketing, human resources and management.
These can be suitable for those working in entry-level roles or more experienced colleagues looking to improve their knowledge.
Studying online will generally be more cost-effective for employers, as there are no travel costs or time away from the office. Online learning can reduce the cost of training by 18% and also reduces time off for learning by 15%.
The business case for training is strong; it’s no longer a question of whether you can afford to provide this it’s now a question of whether you can afford not to. With productivity, engagement and overall profitability taking a hit if you don’t provide training – it’s essential to implement a robust training scheme.
