PIE is offering apprenticeships for ages between 16 – 65 year olds who do not have a degree or equivalent qualification, are not in full-time education and are employed at least 16 hours a week. They can offer apprenticeships in Business Administrator, ITQ and Customer Service. Apprenticeships are Government funded through the Skills Funding Agency, meaning that there is no cost to you as an employer if your staff fit certain criteria. Apprenticeships are normally made up of three elements: Key Skills, Technical Certificate(s) and a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), each of which are separately certificated.
