What is an apprentice?
An apprentice is an employee who receives on-the-job training and learning to develop a specific skill. The apprenticeship leads to a nationally recognised certificate such as a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). As an employer, you can use apprenticeships to train both existing and new employees.
