How can Smart Training & Recruitment help you level up your workforce?

Train your team

Train your workforce through Apprenticeship programmes can help fill critical skill gaps, boost employee motivation and improve staff retention. Because Apprenticeships combine full-time work with study and off-the-job training, your employee can earn a nationally recognised qualification from level 2 (equivalent to a GCSE) to level 5 (equivalent to an HND) in a work-relevant subject.

Funding

Whether you are a small, medium or large organisation, the Government provides financial assistance to help fund your apprentice’s training. If your company’s annual wage bill exceeds £3 million, it will pay the apprenticeship levy, covering 100% of the associated costs. Companies that don’t pay the apprenticeship levy will be responsible for contributing 5% or less towards the cost of training and assessing their apprentice.

Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS)

The Digital Apprenticeship Service is the government portal for employers to find, fund, and manage apprenticeship programmes. All apprenticeships in England must be managed through the Apprenticeship Service. You will need to set up an account to use the service.
