Employer case study:
Gabriele
Gabriele, Channel 4
Business administration
assistant
Having an apprentice scheme is
about recognising raw talent over
qualifications or work experience.
But ours is also about diversity.
We’re proud of the range of voices
our apprentices represent. Many
of them even take part as key
speakers in high-level brainstorms
around programming and content
for young audiences. They add
huge value to what we do.

Employer case study:
Kerri
Kerri, facemediagroup
Customer services administrator
Right now we have 14 staff and
four of them are apprentices,
one in each department. If you’re
prepared to invest your time in
apprentices, the rewards are huge.
They don’t just generate more
income, they become part of the
team, with younger, fresher eyes
and ears for us to learn from. It’s
very satisfying to watch them grow
over the time they’re with us.
00/00/2012
Employer case study:
Miles
Miles, Bentley Motors
Junior engineer
Apprenticeships give us the
flexibility to train individuals to
meet the skills needs for the future.
Once trained our apprentices
become highly skilled, effective
and valuable employees. We
find that the apprentices have a
refreshing outlook and they often
bring new ideas to the company.
They can be a real inspiration.

Employer case study:
Nana
Nana, Anthony Vrahimis
Design Consultancy
Production assistant
My studio has become well known
as a training ground for designers
who go on to start their own
businesses. You learn on the job,
within the industry and it’s real.
Some pick up technical skills quickly,
others need more time from staff
and management. But once they’re
trained, they’re worth every second.
00/00/2012
Employer case study:
Sam
Sam, Jelson Homes
Bricklayer
Apprenticeships bring young
people into our industry, many
of them with huge potential.
If they work hard enough, like
Sam did on his Apprenticeship,
we can build on their training
so they become a vital part of
our company. They get a future
in construction and we get
quality employees. That’s worth
its weight in gold.

Employer case study:
Nisar
Nisar, Incommunities Group Ltd
Electrician
Apprenticeships are part of the
DNA of Incommunities; we’ve
been ranked as one of the Top
100 apprentice employers. We
challenge our apprentices to
learn as they go, and split their
development between the
classroom and the field. It’s good
for both parties: they get skills
that help them in their careers;
we get talented people who
benefit our business.

Reality Check
• Apprentices are employed full time (at least 30 hours
per week) and will have a contract of employment that
covers at least the duration of the Apprenticeship.
• Not all Apprenticeships automatically guarantee a
sustained job with the employer
• The training can take place at a training centre or
college on day or block release basis or may be
completed fully in the workplace – this could involve
travel
• The Apprentice will earn a salary, the minimum wage
is currently £2.68 per hour, although many employers
will pay more than this, consideration needs to be
given to cost of travel etc
