| Employ an 18, 17 or 16 year old apprentice, pay them an apprentice salary and the Government will fund all their training. This also applies to 18, 17 or 16 year old staff already in your employment.
| What would I need to do as an employer? |
|
As an employer you will need to:
- allow the apprentice one day release per week to study at the training centre
- pay the apprentice's wage (the minimum salary that can be paid to an apprentice is £2.50 per hour)
- give the apprentice an induction into their role in your work environment (if they are a new member of staff)
- treat the apprentice as you would any other employee.*
There is no cost to you or the apprentice for the training. Care Training East Midlands will provide all the training.
