What people are saying
Apprenticeship programmes have transformed the hiring process for junior marketing staff for me, offering undeniable benefits such as increased productivity, cost-effectiveness, and fresh perspectives. The apprentices’ willingness to learn injects new life into the team and improves management and marketing skills. Partnering with companies like The Marketing Trainer enhances the success of apprentices, making it a game-changing strategy for businesses.
The Marketing Trainer has supported our business by offering apprenticeships in digital marketing and customer care. This has been a great way to scale our business whilst being able to offer opportunities to students who want to learn and succeed in what they are doing within our business. Mitch is an enthusiastic teacher, an excellent communicator, a consummate professional in his field, and importantly was excellent at supporting our apprentices and the businesses’ needs.

Apprenticeship incentives for small businesses
If you work for or own a small business there are a number of Government incentives in place to help you fund the hiring of apprentices. They include:
- If your annual payroll bill is less than £3mil you’ll qualify for something called Co-Investment;
- Co-investment means that the UK Government will contribute 95% toward the total cost of your apprenticeship training;
- In addition to this, if you have less than 50 members of staff, the government will pay the whole cost of the apprenticeship;
- There’s still more to come. If you hire an apprentice who is 16 – 18 years of age, the government will pay you a £1000 incentive to do so.
So, not only will they pay a majority of your apprenticeship training costs, but there’s a chance they’ll pay all of the costs and even give you money to take on a younger learner!
