How we Recruit and Employ?

Active Apprentice, recruits’ staff via the open job market (or traditional employment), employs them like any other employer, then Active Apprentice will partner with a host employer or multiple employers to place Active Apprentice employees with them to complete work for the host employer, as an agency would. All Active Apprentice employees will be placed onto a Government training schemes to provide training to support them and the host employer.

How we Place Apprentices.

Our Apprentices will complete full working days placed with you as if they were you own staff member being part of your weekly/monthly rota. Active Apprentice will support you with organising their annual leave, training and give back days. This looks like:

180 days working with the host employer. Completing the employer’s normal hours, days and shift patterns. This is spread across the year as required by the host employer.

25 days paid holiday plus 8 bank holidays.

38 training days away from their main job role, solely focused on completing training activities as part of their overall qualifications including an apprenticeship.

10 days set aside as ‘give back days’ where Active Apprentice, the host employer and apprentice will design activities to support their development. These may include additional training courses, volunteering, seminars and industry events.

**The above model is based on an apprentice working full time with the host employer. Active Apprentice offer a reduced rate models of 90 days with the employer and 45 days.

THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE

All our staff are placed onto formal training pathways that are sector endorsed. The routes that our apprentices follow is closely linked to the CIMSPA workforce matrix and could include routes as set out below as well as enriched training from one of the Active Workforce Network (TAWN) partners.
