How to Recruit An Apprentice
Find the right talent through apprenticeship recruitment.
Apprenticeship recruitment offers a powerful way to strengthen teams, address skill gaps and upskill the workforce, and develop loyal, motivated employees. Whether it’s bringing in fresh talent or helping existing staff gain new qualifications, apprenticeships create long-term value across all levels of an organisation.
Today, more high-quality applicants are choosing apprenticeships over traditional routes like university. Recruiting apprentices not only brings in fresh perspectives but often leads to long-term loyalty and cultural alignment. Apprentices can be new hires or current employees ready to grow into new responsibilities, as long as they’re 16 or older, live in England, and not in full-time education.
Hiring an apprentice starts with setting up a Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account. From there, employers can browse and select training courses through Find Apprenticeship Training and advertise roles using Recruit an Apprentice. Opportunities posted through the Recruit an Apprentice service appear on the government’s “Find an Apprenticeship” website.
