Recruit an apprentice and transform your business by securing the skills you need now and in the future.
Apprenticeships
Wales has a highly successful Apprenticeship Programme, built in partnership with our Welsh businesses. We focus on providing great quality, the right skills pathways and the right level of support to help achieve economic durability. Apprenticeships form an important part of the Welsh Government’s Young Person’s Guarantee for 16-24 year olds.
Apprenticeships are a genius decision that can:
- Enable cost-effective recruitment – you cover the apprentice’s wage and we cover the cost of training
- Create a pool of talent – with a skilled, qualified workforce
- Fill skills gaps – to meet demands now and in the future
- Help your business grow –whether you choose to recruit, retrain or redeploy your workforce
- Help you actively participate in the Young Person’s Guarantee by supporting you to create opportunities for young people to enter the workplace.
If you are new to apprenticeships, you can register your interest via the Expression of Interest form and you will be contacted by an Employer Engagement advisor.
Or you can contact a Training Provider

We have developed a new Apprenticeship Vacancy Service that allows you to advertise any future apprenticeship opportunities.
The Welsh Government has launched a £40 million skills and jobs package to help employers like you to take on and train new workers, including apprentices and young people.
Aligning the Apprenticeship model to the needs of the Welsh Economy sets out Welsh Government's vision for addressing the needs of Welsh businesses and the wider economy.
Apprenticeships are having a positive impact on businesses and the wider economy throughout Wales.
