Their apprentices are in L2 Trades and L3/L4 Technical and Management roles, and most are aged 16-21 so they provide HR management, a Mentor for guidance, and Early Careers Manager for academic supervision.  Shared Apprenticeships are a not-for-profit social enterprise and can help if you want to ‘grow your own’, but don’t have the capacity to recruit, employ, find college provision, mentor, and support a young apprentice through to completion.
