The process for hiring an apprentice can have additional steps compared to hiring any other employee. You will need to:
- Confirm which level of accounting apprenticeship will meet the needs of your organisation and the role the apprentice will be taking
- Research and agree on which training provider you intend to use.
- Identify what funding, if any, is available to help with apprenticeship employment and training costs.
- Advertise the accounting apprenticeship role(s) on the Apprenticeship Service website.
- Accountancy Learning has developed a free recruitment and screening programme called “The Talent Programme”. Recruitment can be a very time-consuming process and we can do as much or as little of the process as you wish20. This can include screening the candidates for you and providing them with a bookkeeping taster course and aptitude test, which can form part of your assessment process. Further details of our Talent Programme can be found here.
