How Apprenticeships can benefit your business

Calling ALL companies that haven't employed Apprentices before

The British Chambers of Commerce in association with the National Apprenticeship Service* and the Federation of Small Businesses, have organised a national programme of events to explore how apprenticeships can benefit your business.

Could your business benefit from:

Attracting new talent?

Re-skilling existing staff?

Tackling a skills shortage?

Funding of £1500 per apprentice (16-24 year olds) via the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers (AGE)?

The Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses will be hosting a seminar as part of this national programme on Thursday 24 September 2015 at Tudor Park Hotel, Maidstone.

Delegates will have the chance to learn about:

- The benefits of employing an apprentice

- How to employ an apprentice

- The support available

* The National Apprenticeship Service supports the delivery of apprenticeships and traineeships in England. It offers free impartial advice and support to employers looking to recruit for the first time or expand their programme.
