Apprenticeships – a genius decision

Apprenticeships are a ‘Genius Decision’ designed around the needs of the employer and can help transform your business by offering a route to find fresh new, sector-skilled, talent.

Apprenticeships continue to play a vital role in:

  • delivering the high-quality skills employers need
  • supporting businesses at all levels
  • offering employers a way to re-energise and expand
  • ensuring sustainability by injecting fresh talent
  • upskilling existing staff
  • enabling employees to perform at a more advanced level

Apprentices work alongside experienced employees to gain on the job skills while receiving outside training from an approved college, training provider or university. 

Funding is available in Wales to support all businesses, regardless of size. Employers will pay the apprentices wages, as with any employee, and Welsh Government will offer support with some of the training costs.

For further information, please visit the Business Wales Skills Gateway pages.
