ADVERTORIAL CITB’S NEW ENTRANT SUPPORT TEAM
A re you a construction employer finding it challenging to recruit an apprentice? Or perhaps you’re just unsure about the process? With more than three-quarters of employers considering the apprenticeship route, you are not alone. To support the industry, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) created its New Entrant Support Team (NEST), with local advisers available to help employers find, recruit and retain apprentices – providing guidance every step of the way. This hands-on free support covers recruitment, paperwork, accessing grants and funding, and ongoing mentoring throughout the apprenticeship. Recruitment We’ll signpost you to useful employment resources and help to advertise your apprenticeship vacancy to attract potential candidates and let them find you – all for free. We’ll help you find the right apprentice. CITB funding We’ll make sure you are set up to receive CITB apprenticeship grants: ● Attendance grant of £2,500 (per year, per apprentice) ● Achievement grant of £3,500 (on successful completion of the apprenticeship). Admin We’ll help you to sort the paperwork, liaise with the training provider and more so you can focus on the job. Retention We’ll keep in touch to make sure you have the support you need to help your apprentice achieve and become a fully-fledged employee on completion.
