Why Should I Hire an Apprentice?
We can confidently say that if you are thinking of expanding your team an apprentice could add something different to your salon whilst keeping costs down.
It has been found that an apprentice can improve salon productivity and can improve the staff retention at your business. Existing staff members become empowered to nurture your apprentice, championing them when they do well and wanting to see out the apprenticeship with them.
There are also financial incentives to hiring an apprentice, if they fall within the correct demographic the course costs are completely covered by the Government plus there could be £3000 for your Salon as well as many other incentives for working with Saks Apprenticeships for your apprenticeship support.
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a government recognised and approved learning programme, aimed at people over the age of 16. Apprenticeships are an excellent way of training junior members of staff, allowing them to gain hands-on, practical experience while earning a wage.
Apprentices are required to work a minimum of 30 hours per week. However, if they're aged 18 or under, they are not permitted to work more than 40 hours a week, or more than 8 hours a day.
Employers must dedicate 20% of the apprentice's working hours to training and commit to paying their apprentice the national apprenticeship minimum wage for the first year of their employment.
