An event aimed at small to medium sized businesses based in Stafford Borough, to help them find out how apprenticeships work and the benefits of them for both employer and apprentice.

As a local business this is your opportunity to hear from Training Providers and from local employers and apprentices who have actually done it.

You will also be able to learn of the recently announced Government financial incentive of how you as a potential employer of an apprentice could receive up to £1,500 for taking on an apprentice aged between 16 and 24 years.

The event is being organised by Stafford Borough Council in conjunction with Staffordshire County Council, Stafford Works, PM Training, Stafford College, South Staffs College, Stoke and Staffordshire LEP and is being funded by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS).

Attendance will be by registration only and is free of charge.
