Apprenticeships (Employer)
« on: 22 February 2012, 20:52 »
I am self employed and employ 10 people, my work load is ridiculous so I am thinking about taking on a couple of apprentices to act as helpers to my engineers with them ultimately learning a trade.

Does anyone know what pay an apprentice gets or anything uselful that I should know?

minimum pay for a apprentice iirc is around £90 per hour.

belive theres quite a bit of info on the direct.gov website. or there used to be.



get in contact with some training providers around you, they should be able to help out with teaching the lads a bit to start off with so they have the basics and will proberbly be able to help you with any other questions you have.

£90 a week or about 2.90 a hour I think.

Not sure if you get some government funding for doing an apprentaceship though.

Just found this on the directgov website:

The apprentice minimum wage is currently £2.60 per hour and applies to time working, plus time spent training that is part of the Apprenticeship. Employers are be free to pay above the new wage and many do so, but employers must ensure that they are paying their apprentices at least the minimum wage.

The National Apprenticeship Service will provide up to 40,000 Apprenticeship grants to smallmedium sized employers recruiting 16 to 24 year olds with a value of £1,500 to encourage new employers to take on new apprentices.

Looking more and more appealing!!
