ApprenticeshipsAn Apprenticeship is one of the most cost-effective ways to develop your business, improve productivity and enhance staff retention whilst reducing training and recruitment costs.

Apprenticeships ensure that your workforce has the practical expertise and qualifications that your organisation needs. The mixture of on and off job learning ensures that Apprentices acquire abilities designed around your business requirements, providing the skilled workers you need for the future. 92% of employers who employ Apprentices believe that Apprenticeships lead to a more motivated and satisfied workforce whilst over 80% agree they make their workplace more productive.

Workplace LearningWorkforce development is one of the most important considerations for any business. Research has shown that businesses that train their employees are more likely to survive than those who don’t. Providing employees with the opportunity to learn and update their skills will encourage greater confidence and ability, improving performance of the individual and the business.

Workplace Learning refers to qualifications undertaken that are linked to the job role and the workforce, achieved by showing knowledge and/or competence against a range of criteria.

There are a number of ways in which these workplace qualifications can be delivered:

• Work-based learning and assessment delivered entirely in the workplace

• Self-study programmes with tutorial support

• Knowledge-based courses delivered at East Kent College premises

• A combination of on and off the job training through day release at college
