“Student Apprenticeships” is a new and exciting programme that places students in Years 12 or 13 in a local company once or twice a week to help them gain

• Industry-recognised training
• Experience
• Qualifications gained “on-the-job” (usually NVQ2 & 3) while still following a programme of study in school.

Could your company benefit from a bright and enthusiastic apprentice working with you twice a week?

HOW DOES IT WORK?

If you wish to be involved in this scheme, and once you have identified apprenticeship opportunities, Liverpool Compact EBP will:

Visit you to

• Explain the system and the benefits to you and your company
• Undertake a Health & Safety check
• Negotiate a Job Description and Person Specification with you
• Advertise your “Vacancy” in Liverpool schools
• Issue the ‘Apprenticeship Agreement’ to the successful candidate(s). This will detail content, duration and frequency of the Apprenticeship placement. This is signed by you, the student and the student’s parents/carers. An ‘Individual Learning Plan’ is then negotiated between yourself and the student.
• Be available to offer advice to you throughout the duration of your involvement with the Student Apprenticeship scheme.

WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?

By being involved in a Student Apprenticeship placement you will be

• Providing your industry with a pool of potential recruits who
  • are well qualified
  • have received basic training
  • have demonstrated their skills
  • have demonstrated their commitment and reliability.
• Providing your staff with development opportunities as they supervise the student(s) day to day
