Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships help you build the workforce your business needs, now and for the future. By developing apprentices within your organisation, you can grow your own talent, shape skills around your operations and improve staff retention, all while reducing recruitment risk and costs. Apprentices earn while they learn, contributing to your business from day one.

Employing an apprentice is also a smart financial decision. Government funding covers most or all training costs, with options for levy use and levy transfers, while employers benefit from National Insurance savings for apprentices under 25 and may be eligible for additional incentive payments. Recent changes to apprenticeship funding have made programmes more flexible and accessible, supporting a wider range of roles, levels and workforce needs.

Nottingham College makes apprenticeships simple. We work in partnership with employers to manage funding, training and ongoing support, helping you invest confidently in skills, productivity and long‑term growth.
