How we operate
With you every step of the way
JTL manages training; this means we do not actually employ apprentices directly. What we do for apprentices is:
- Liaise with Government bodies, such as the Learning and Skills Council and the Welsh Assembly Government, to arrange apprenticeship funding.
- Organise and co-ordinate off-the-job training with over 100 local training centres and colleges.
- Work with local employers to provide the best possible candidates and deliver the training that meets the needs of their business, whilst ensuring that apprentices placed with them are in a safe working environment and receive appropriate supervision and on-the-job training.

At the heart of what we do for apprentices are 185 local Training Officers, covering every postcode in England and Wales, who help co-ordinate everything for you from day one. Their role is to be the link between you, your college and your employer to make sure that you achieve your final goal – an NVQ level 3 qualification.
Whilst JTL will help you find employment with employers who agree to work with us, it is still up to you to also look for employment with a local company as well. Once you have an employer, your Training Officer will set up your college course and arrange funding, and then liaise with your employer and monitor your on-site training. They will ensure that you continue to make progress throughout your four-year apprenticeship and mentor you through every stage.
All are experienced and technically qualified industry professionals. They appreciate what your employer needs but crucially they were once in your shoes so they know what it is really like and understand what it takes to make a success of your choice.
Your Training Officer will have one simple objective. To provide you with long-term career opportunities and do whatever is necessary – supporting you, assessing you, advising you, even cajoling and pushing you when it's needed – to make sure you make the best of your opportunities and work towards a successful career.
