An interview will be arranged with your Nescot assessor, who will review your qualifications and check that you meet the entry requirements for the apprenticeship you have chosen. HOW DO I FIND AN EMPLOYER? As an apprentice you need to be employed for at least 30 hours per week in a relevant job. To be eligible for government funding all full-time apprentices (those that work 30 hours per week or more) must spend, as a minimum, 6 hours per week, over the planned duration of the practical period, on off-the-job training. We can support you to find a suitable employer, but here are some of the things you can do: Be proactive and contact local businesses that you are interested in working for to enquire if they take on apprentices. Check out our current apprenticeship vacancies on www.nescot.ac.uk/ apprenticeshipvacancies and apply to the role you are interested in. • Send an email with the details of which apprenticeship you are interested in to businesscentre@nescot.ac.uk . The Business Centre team will help you to reach local employers, and keep you informed of any vacancies. • Have a look at the national apprenticeship website www.gov.uk/apply- apprenticeship to find and apply to apprenticeship vacancies in your area.
