Apprenticeships in LA-maintained schools

• Apprenticeships offer schools a cost-effective way to improve the skills of their workforce through offering a broad range of funded CPD opportunities for employees in many roles.
• Apprenticeships can not only be used to upskill existing employees but can also be used to recruit and train new staff.
• Every school is different, so apprenticeships can be tailored to suit the needs of the school by contextualising the knowledge, skills, and behaviours to be relevant to the specific need of the apprentice’s workplace
• They combine work with practical, on and off-the-job training and study.

In summary, apprenticeships can upskill staff, raise morale and reduce staff turnover.
