Upskilling Staff
An apprentice does not have to be a new employee.
In fact, around half of employers offering apprenticeships (52%) do so to existing employees as a way to upskill staff.
Why should I offer apprenticeships to existing staff?

Develop employees’ skills and knowledge
Placing employees onto apprenticeships allows them to access training that develops skills and knowledge relevant to their role. For an employer, this means a workforce with increased capability and efficiency.
Employees gain a qualification
For an employee, an apprenticeship means they are better equipped to thrive in their role. It also means that upon completing their apprenticeship, they can receive a nationally recognised qualification and potentially pursue a higher-level apprenticeship within your business.
Utilise the Apprenticeship Levy
You can utilise the Apprenticeship Levy to train existing employees that are enrolled on an apprenticeship programme. The Apprenticeship Levy is a tax on employers that aims to increase the number and apprenticeships and fund training in companies across the UK.
