Recruit And Develop Talent Through Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships offer a practical way to recruit new talent, upskill existing employees and build the skills your organisation needs for long-term growth.
At CT Skills, we support employers with apprenticeship recruitment, structured training and ongoing learner support across a range of sectors.
A More Effective Way To Build Skills Across Your Workforce
Whether you need to recruit new people or develop employees already in your organisation, apprenticeships provide a structured route to build practical skills in the workplace.
Our apprenticeship programmes help businesses develop confident, capable employees who can contribute in role while working towards recognised qualifications.
Benefits
- Recruit individuals suited to your organisation
- Upskill existing employees in their current roles
- Build skills aligned to your systems, processes and goals
- Improve retention through structured development
- Create clear progression routes across your workforce
Upskill Existing Employees
Many apprentices are already employed within their organisation. Apprenticeships can help existing staff build confidence, take on new responsibilities, and progress into more advanced roles.
This route works well for retention, succession planning and closing skills gaps within your current team.
We’ll help you:
- Upskill teams and reskill employees for new responsibilities
- Build confident, capable, future-ready teams
- Embed a culture of learning and development
- Make the most of your apprenticeship levy and government funding
Recruit New Talent
If you need to grow your team, we can support you with apprenticeship recruitment, from promoting vacancies to helping identify suitable candidates.
This route works well for entry-level roles, future talent pipelines and employers who want to shape skills from the start.
What you’ll gain:
- Access to fresh, diverse talent pools
- Build your future talent pipeline with expert support every step of the way
- Inclusive hiring that strengthens social impact
- Candidates aligned to your business needs and goals
I can’t recommend CT Skills enough. I have recently undertaken my level 2 Finance Assistant apprenticeship and after having experiences with other providers for apprenticeships I can hand on heart say that they have been by far the best! My tutor has been incredibly supportive throughout the whole course, available when I needed advice or guidance and made the process of completing as easy as possible.
Learner Feedback
Support Available To Help You Recruit And Train

- Training costs fully funded for eligible apprentices aged 16–24
- Additional financial incentives for hiring young apprentices

Real Results From Employers And Learners
Having two apprentices has been a significant benefit. Both apprentices are making great progress in their learning, with their formal progress marrying up well with the practical client work they're undertaking. One apprentice in particular is doing a great job, demonstrating a strong interest and so much enthusiasm in his sessions.

By recruiting new apprentices we’ve been able to support local young people into roles within the NHS. Some of these roles have been hard to fill so an apprenticeship has given us a great option for these challenges.
