Chris Hawkins, Apprentice Manager at Teledyne e2v commented "Our long-standing apprenticeship scheme is embedded within the culture of the business. Apprentices constantly bring new ideas and energy to the workplace, and we are able to train them in the areas that we can struggle recruiting into. Our past apprentices now hold key positions within the business.

The Essex Opportunities Portal has a range of online resources available for employers when they are considering employing an apprentice.

The FSB has produced a free guide for small businesses on how to hire an apprentice.
