Nothing, our service to employers is free of charge. We fund the cost of all off-the-job training including college fees and course notes and on-the-job assessments. You simply pay the apprentice a salary, and associated employment costs, and provide PPE.
Thousands of young people apply to start a JTL apprenticeship in response to our extensive marketing campaign. After undergoing an Initial Assessment to determine their suitability, they are placed on our Approved List. We will provide you with details of successful candidates in your local area for consideration, interview and possible recruitment. Your local Training Officer will be on hand to support you through the whole process.
Yes, we’d be happy to. Whether you or we find the apprentice doesn’t matter, JTL can still manage the training and arrange all funding support provided they complete a JTL Application Form, pass the JTL Initial Assessment and meet funding requirements (for instance, funding restrictions affect applications from candidates aged 19+).
Why is it better for my business to select JTL, rather than my local college, to train my apprentices?
JTL is a specialist industry focused training organisation. We actually contract with 100+ local colleges to deliver the off-the-job training elements. JTL ensures industry standards are being maintained by regular monitoring of each college and through the provision of our own specially developed course notes for lecturers and apprentices.
The JTL schemes delivered by colleges include JTL devised practical training exercises, which fully supplement on-site experience, raising the training above the standard NVQ requirements, providing each apprentice with useful skills they can bring to your business at an early stage.
Training may be on a day release basis or operate in concentrated blocks. Your Training Officer will be able to advise you of details of all local training provision.
JTL will provide a dedicated, trade qualified and experienced Training Officer to monitor the apprentice’s progress and manage the whole process for you, from recruitment, college start and all the way through to final qualification. Throughout you will receive regular feedback on your apprentice’s performance.
