Shared Apprenticeships support the Local Economy by employing local people from local communities and arrange a series of work placements for them with Host Contractors in the region.

For Host Contractors, this means having a local Apprentice with PPE, insurance and a CSCS card for the duration of the work whilst Shared Apprenticeships handle the HR, College admin and PAYE. For their Apprentices, this means having the opportunity to build a quality CV based on a variety of experience. As a result, many have been hired by one of their Host Contractors either mid-term or on completion of their apprenticeship.
