How we operate
WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
JTL manages training; we don't actually employ apprentices directly, you are employed as fully salaried members of your employers workforce. Your salary and associated employment costs are paid by your employer, we fund your off-site training and on-site assessment.
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 140 local training centres and colleges
- Monitor and assess all on-site training through a structured programme that leads to an NVQ Level 3 qualification
- Work with 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.
All are experienced and technically qualified industry professionals. Crucially they were once an apprentice themselves so they know what it is really like and understand what it takes for you to be successful.
Their role is to be the link between you, our partner college and your employer to make sure that you achieve your final goal - an NVQ level 3 .
Whilst JTL will help applicants to find employment with employers who agree to work with us, it is still up to candidates to also look for a job with a local company as well.
Once you have found employment, your Training Officer will set up your college course, arrange funding and then liaise with your employer. They'll then monitor and assess your on-site training and ensure that you continue to make progress throughout your four year apprenticeship.
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.
