Apprentice recruitment with Luton Adult Learning is on a rolling programme so there’s no need to wait until term starts to think about hiring an apprentice.

To help you recruit the ideal candidate, we can support you throughout the recruitment process, from advertising to sitting on interview panels.

All job vacancies are advertised locally on our website and nationally on www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship.

A member of our team can meet with you to discuss your business needs and the apprentice standards that are available, ensuring the right fit for the job role. The meeting will also explore tasks that the apprentice will be required to carry out, matching these to the proposed standard to guarantee that the level is correct and there is ample opportunity for the apprentice to gather the evidence required.  New organisations or new managers are offered support through our 'Managing New Apprentices’ workshops.

Once on programme, our Progress Coaches schedule regular contact with the apprentice and employer to monitor progress and there is an open line of communication to them for employers to discuss any issues. We will take your apprentice through the journey from signing up, training, working towards achieving qualifications where required and preparation for end point assessment.

We are committed to giving apprentices all the knowledge, skills, behaviours and experience they need to secure further employment. We can offer careers advice and CV writing guidance to any apprentice coming to the end of their contract.
