Apprenticeship Options
A Competenz apprenticeship is a carefully structured programme that combines practical skills training with technical training. There is no restriction as to who can enter an apprenticeship. Even if a worker is already employed in industry but has no formal qualification, it is not too late for him or her to get their skills formally recognised.
Competenz offers two broad options for apprenticeships, which you can customise to suit your individual needs.
- I’ve got an existing employee who is a great candidate for an apprenticeship
- I’m confident I have the time and ability to recruit a good apprentice
- I’d like to be the apprentice’s formal employer
- I or my staff have the time and ability to provide coaching and mentoring.
- I haven’t got time to recruit a suitable apprentice
- I like the idea of someone else taking on all the formal employer responsibilities
- I’d like to pay for my new apprentice on a contract basis
- I don’t have spare resource for coaching and mentoring
