As Foundation Apprentices are still at school, you need to make sure the recruitment process coincides with key timelines of the school academic year. There’s lots of support to help you recruit Foundation Apprentices.
Understand the timelines
Read our recruitment guide. It provides details of when to raise awareness of your Foundation Apprenticeship and when to recruit, so it aligns with the school year.
Engage with stakeholders
Working with schools, local authorities, parents and pupils is essential for delivering Foundation Apprenticeships. So is working with employers and we have an Employer Engagement Guide to help.
Use our helpful recruitment resources
Make use of our Foundation Apprenticeship Marketing Resources. They can help you promote your apprenticeships. We’ve got Marketing and Publicity Guidelines too for information on promoting Foundation Apprenticeships.
Support new learners
We have a short Welcome Guide on how to ease first day nerves for new apprentices. It tells you what to do before they start and on their first day. It also describes how to make adjustments for learners who need additional support.
