National Apprenticeship Service has developed two new products for employers about off-the-job training and guidance supporting young apprenticeships.
They have published a flowchart to help employers determine which activities count as off-the-job training and a myth-busting document to counter five common myths.
In addition, the National Apprenticeship Service has released a guide to provide employers of all sizes and sectors provide effective support for apprentices aged 16 to 24. It includes:
- Steps employers can take to make their recruitment practices accessible for young people
- Examples of on-the-job support for young apprenticeships in the workplace
- Information on sources of additional funding which employers can use to support young apprentices
