Whether it's a new start to your business or an existing employee, a Graduate Apprenticeship is a great way to develop your workforce. Your Graduate Apprentice will work for you full time. They'll normally spend about 80% of their time at work, and around 20% developing their skills at university or college. The mix between work and learning means the work your employees do counts towards their qualification.
