Apprenticeships, Traineeships, Kickstart…what’s right for my organisation?

Feeling unsure of which 16-24 year old training programme to integrate as part of your organisation's recruitment and development? Well this breakdown may help you decide.

Here at Hawk Training, we’ve been supporting individuals and organisations through our well-renowned apprenticeship programmes for over 30 years and we continue to do so with great pride and enthusiasm to this very day.

So what is an apprenticeship?

 

More and more employers are using apprenticeship programmes to build their talent pipeline, upskill their workforce and enhance succession planning.

Our apprenticeship programmes are available for:

  • Existing employees who require upskilling in the workplace to support progression in their role
  • New entrants to the workplace looking for an apprenticeship opportunity, a job that combines an apprenticeship training programme as part of the terms of employment.
