Recruiting an apprentice

Download hiring checklist

Apprenticeships are open to your new or current staff. There are no age restrictions, and apprenticeships are open to those who already have a degree, as long as the apprenticeship will help the individual to develop new competencies and behaviours in a specific job role.

Promoting your apprenticeship

Before you promote your apprenticeship, it’s important to think who you are trying to attract, whether you want to first upskill existing employees or attract external talent.

New vacancies can be promoted via the Government's recruit an apprentice service.

There are more ways to promote your apprenticeships too, including:

Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP)

If you are based in the OxLEP area, the Oxfordshire Apprenticeships team can also offer you help and support.

Swindon & Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP)

The SWLEP Growth Hub can provide advice for employers based in the Swindon and Wiltshire LEP area.
